Hopf bifurcation for retarded functional differential equations and for semiflows in Banach spaces (Q2439763)

Autho's abstract: We indicate how a Hopf bifurcation theorem for retarded functional differential equations can be proved correctly, following an approach that is described, but not carried out properly in the literature. Then we state and prove a Hopf bifurcation theorem for general semiflows in Banach spaces, using different methods. The general statement includes the case of retarded functional differential equations.
