Let ϕ: [0,1] → [0,1] be a nondecreasing continuous function such that ϕ(x) > x for all x ∈ (0,1). Let the operator $V_{ϕ} : f(x) ↦ ∫_{0}^{ϕ(x)} f(t)dt$ be defined on L₂[0,1]. We prove that $V_{ϕ}$ has a finite number of nonzero eigenvalues if and only if ϕ(0) > 0 and ϕ(1-ε) = 1 for some 0 < ε < 1. Also, we show that the spectral trace of the operator $V_{ϕ}$ always equals 1.
