Abstract

We investigate general properties, such as existence and uniqueness, continuous dependence on data and continuation, of solutions to retarded functional differential equations with infinite delay on a differentiable manifold.

Keywords:

Retarded functional differential equations (RFDEs),
RFDEs with infinite delay,
RFDEs on manifolds,
initial value problems,
properties of solutions.
