# Skew-product semiflows for non-autonomous partial functional differential equations with delay

• A detailed dynamical study of the skew-product semiflows induced by families of AFDEs with infinite delay on a Banach space is carried over. Applications are given for families of non-autonomous quasimonotone reaction-diffusion PFDEs with delay in the nonlinear reaction terms, both with finite and infinite delay. In this monotone setting, relations among the classical concepts of sub and super solutions and the dynamical concept of semi-equilibria are established, and some results on the existence of minimal semiflows with a particular dynamical structure are derived.
