In this paper stability of numerical solution of Fredholm integral equation of the first kind is studied for radial basis kernels which possess positive Fourier transform. As a result, the equivalence relation between strong and weak forms of partial differential equations (PDEs) is proved for some special radial test functions. Also the stability of boundary elements method (BEM) is proved analytically for Laplace and Helmholtz equations by obtaining Fourier transform of singular fundamental solutions applied in BEM. Analytical result presented in this paper is an extension of stability idea of radial basis functions (RBFs) used to interpolate scattered data described by Wendland in [51]. Similar to the interpolation, it is proved here mathematically that integral operators which have radial kernels with positive Fourier transform are strictly positive definite. Thanks to the stability idea presented in [51], a positive lower bound for eigenvalues of these integral operators is found here, explicitly.
