The eigenvalues of the homogeneous Fredholm integral equation, whose kernel is a sin2 x/x2 function, are shown to be non-degenerate. An upper bound for the largest eigenvalue is established and an approximate formula for evaluating the eigenvalues is suggested. Applications of these results to speckle and photocounting statistics are presented.
Gori et al. (1975) studied this question.
