Existence and uniqueness of the solution for an integral equation with supremum

Following the idea of T. Wongyat and W. Sintunavarat, we obtain some existence and uniqueness results for the solution of an integral equation with supremum. The paper ends with the study of Gronwall-type theorems, comparison theorems and a result regarding a Ulam–Hyers stability result for the corresponding fixed point problem.
