show that the function satisfies condition of the lemma

Let $(f_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be an eigenfunctions of the compact integral operator $F$, defined on $L^2([-1,1])$ by $$ F(f)(x)=\int_{-1}^1\frac{\sin a(x-y)}{x-y}\,\psi(y)\,\mathrm{d}y, \quad \mbox{here ...

Eigenvalues of an operator

I think this question isn't that hard, but I am a bit confused: Define $$(Af)(x):=\int_{0}^{1}\cos(2\pi(x-y))f(y)dy.$$ Then $A$ is an operator on functions. Find the eigenvalues and the ...
