This book deals with linear functional differential equations and operator theory methods for their investigation. The main topics are: the equivalence of the input-output stability of the equation "L"x = &mathsf; and the invertibility of the operator "L" in the class of casual operators; the equivalence of input-output and exponential stability; the equivalence of the dichotomy of solutions for the homogeneous equation "L"x = 0 and the invertibility of the operator "L"; the properties of Green's function; the independence of the stability of an equation from the norm on the space of...
