Razumikhin techniques in infinite delay equations (Q1118089)

We deal with the infinite delay equation: (*) \(x'(t)=F(t,x(s)\); \(\alpha\leq s\leq t)\), \(t\geq t_*\), where \(-\infty \leq \alpha \leq t_*\), \(\alpha\) could be -\(\infty\), F is a Volterra functional determined by t and the values of x(s) for \(\alpha\leq s\leq t\) and values in \(R^ n\) are taken. We establish some theorems on stability and on boundedness for equation (*) by applying Razumikhin techniques without imposing F(t,\(\phi)\) to be bounded for \(\phi\) bounded. Several examples are given to illustrate the advantages of our results.
