We study the well-posedness of initial value problems for scalar functional algebraic and differential functional equations of mixed type. We provide a practical way to determine whether such problems admit unique solutions that grow at a specified rate. In particular, we exploit the fact that the answer to such questions is encoded in an integer n#. We show how this number can be tracked as a problem is transformed to a reference problem for which a Wiener-Hopf splitting can be computed. Once such a splitting is available, results due to Mallet-Paret and Verduyn-Lunel can be used to compute n#. We illustrate our techniques by analytically studying the well-posedness of two macro-economic overlapping generations models for which Wiener-Hopf splittings are not readily available.
Keywords: Functional differential equations, overlapping generations models, Functional differential equations, advanced and retarded arguments, initial value problems, indeterminacy..
