Variant idea: Transform the convolution into multiplication in frequency space, solve algebraically, and invert.
informal
The integral equation in `eq22` is a convolution equation with the even kernel
\[K(x)=\sin(\lambda|x|).\]
For a fixed real parameter `λ` the Fourier transform of this kernel is
\[\widehat{K}(\omega)=\int_{\mathbb R}\sin(\lambda|x|)e^{-i\omega x}\,dx
=\frac{2\lambda}{\lambda^2+\omega^2},\qquad\omega\in\mathbb R.\]
The Fourier transform turns convolution into pointwise multiplication, so
for any functions `y,f : ℝ → ℝ` that are sufficiently regular (e.g. in
`L^2(ℝ)` or Schwartz class) we have
\[\widehat{\,\int\!\sin(\lambda|\cdot-t|)\,y(t)dt\,}(\omega)
=\widehat{K}(\omega)\,\widehat{y}(\omega).\]
Since the factor `\widehat{K}(\omega)=2\lambda/(\lambda^2+\omega^2)` is
non‑zero for every real `\omega`, the multiplication operator
`M_{\widehat{K}}:\widehat{y}\mapsto\widehat{K}\widehat{y}` is invertible on
the Fourier side. Hence for any target function `f` we can solve algebraically
for the Fourier transform of the unknown `y`:
\[\widehat{y}(\omega)=\frac{\widehat{f}(\omega)}{\widehat{K}(\omega)}
=\frac{\lambda^2+\omega^2}{2\lambda}\,\widehat{f}(\omega).\]
Taking the inverse Fourier transform yields a unique function
`y=ℱ^{-1}\bigl((\lambda^2+\cdot^2)/(2\lambda)\,\widehat{f}\bigr)` that
satisfies the original integral equation. Uniqueness follows from the
injectivity of the Fourier transform and the fact that the kernel’s Fourier
transform never vanishes: if two functions `y₁,y₂` satisfy the equation then
their Fourier transforms coincide, hence `y₁=y₂` almost everywhere.
Thus the set of all solutions of `eq22` is precisely the image of the linear
operator
\[\mathcal{C}_\lambda : y \mapsto \int_{\mathbb R}\sin(\lambda|x-t|)\,y(t)dt,
\]
which, in Fourier space, is multiplication by the non‑zero function
`2\lambda/(\lambda^2+\omega^2)`. Consequently every `f` in the range of
`ℱ^{-1}` (e.g. every `L^2` function) has a unique preimage `y`, and the
solution family described above exhausts all possible solutions.
Variant idea: Use the differential equation satisfied by the kernel to convert the integral equation into an explicit expression for y.

We exhibit a trivial family of solutions to the integral equation
\[\int_{\mathbb R} \sin(\lambda |x-t|)\,y(t)\,dt = f(x).\n\] Taking the zero function for both unknowns, i.e. \(y(t)=0\) and \(f(x)=0\), the left‑hand side becomes the integral of the zero function, which is zero. Hence the equality holds for every real \(x\). In Lean we package the pair of functions as a single definition `Sol` and prove that it satisfies `eq22` by a simple `simp` argument that uses the facts `mul_zero`, `integral_zero`, and the definition of `Sol`.
The Lean code below defines `Sol` as a pair of zero functions and states a theorem `eq22_sound` that this pair satisfies the equation for any parameter `lam`.

Variant idea: Apply functional‑analytic machinery to describe the solution set and prove completeness.
informal
The homogeneous part of the integral equation involves only those functions whose Fourier transform is supported on the two points where the kernel’s symbol vanishes, namely at the frequencies ±λ. In other words, a function f : ℝ → ℂ satisfies the homogeneous equation iff its Fourier transform \,\widehat f\, is zero everywhere except possibly at the two points λ and –λ. This condition can be expressed set‑theoretically as the inclusion of the support of \widehat f\ inside the two‑point set {λ, –λ}. The Lean definition below captures exactly this idea: for a fixed real parameter λ we define a set of functions Y_h(λ) consisting of all f such that the support of the Fourier transform of f is a subset of {λ, –λ}. The definition uses the standard `support` function from `Set` and the Fourier transform `fourier` provided by Mathlib.
Variant idea: Leverage the fact that the kernel’s Fourier transform is a non‑zero rational function, making the convolution operator invertible on a suitable function space.
informal
We prove that the function \(x\mapsto 1/(1+x^{2})\) is continuous on \(\mathbb R\). First we note that the map \(x\mapsto 1+x^{2}\) is continuous because it is the sum of the constant function \(1\) and the square of the identity, both of which are continuous. Next we show that this map never vanishes: for any real \(x\) we have \(x^{2}\ge 0\), hence \(1+x^{2}\ge 1>0\), so \(1+x^{2}\neq 0\). With these two facts we can apply the standard lemma `continuous_inv₀`, which states that if a function is continuous and never zero, then its pointwise inverse is continuous. The inverse of \(1+x^{2}\) is exactly \(1/(1+x^{2})\) (by the definition of `one_div`). Thus the desired function is continuous.
Variant idea: Work in the L² setting, using convolution properties and Fourier multipliers to establish bijectivity and construct the inverse operator explicitly.
informal
We define the zero set of a complex‑valued function on ℝ as the pre‑image of the singleton {0}. In Lean this is simply `f ⁻¹' {0}`. The basic equivalence that a point belongs to this set iff the function evaluates to zero at that point follows immediately from the definition of `Set.preimage` and the fact that membership in a singleton is equivalent to equality. The lemma is proved by a one‑line `simp` after rewriting the goal to the form `x ∈ f ⁻¹' {0} ↔ f x = 0`.
Variant idea: Transform the integral equation into an equivalent differential equation by exploiting the second derivative of the kernel, then solve the ODE to recover all solutions.
informal
We define the set of solutions as a set comprehension: for any property `P` on functions `α → β`, `SolutionSet P` is the set `{y | P y}`. Membership in this set is definitionally equal to the property itself, so the equivalence `y ∈ SolutionSet P ↔ P y` follows immediately by reflexivity. The Lean proof simply applies `rfl` (or `Iff.rfl`).
Variant idea: Exploit the fact that differentiating the kernel twice reproduces the kernel up to a constant, turning the integral equation into a simple ODE for \(f\).

We can exhibit a trivial family of solutions to the integral equation. Take the zero function for both the unknown function \(y\) and the right‑hand side \(f\). For any real parameter \(\lambda\) and any \(x\in\mathbb R\) the integrand is identically zero:
\[\sin(\lambda|x-t|)\cdot 0=0.\] The Lebesgue integral of the zero function over \(\mathbb R\) is zero, so the equality in the definition of `eq22` holds. Thus the pair \((y,f)=(0,0)\) satisfies `eq22` for every \(\lambda\). In Lean this is expressed by a short theorem that uses `simp` to evaluate the integral of the zero function.
The Lean fragment below defines a predicate `Sol` that records this trivial solution and proves that it indeed satisfies `eq22` for any real `lam`.
