Functional differential equation with infinite delay in a space of exponentially bounded and uniformly continuous functions (Q1987156)

The aim of this paper is to study the local stability and bifurcation for some functional differential equations. The phase space is a special one, it is not provided by an axiomatic approach. It is exaclty the space of bounded and uniformly continuous functions on \(\mathbb R\)-. To motivate the work, the authors provide some model in population dynamics, that can be written as a functional differential equations with infinite delay. The authors transform the delay equation to a semilinear problem whose linear part satisfies the Hille-Yosida condition. First the authors give some prelimnary results on the spectral theory for the linear equation. Then, the authors give a linearization principle to get the stability of the equilibrium. No result about the instability is given. At the end of the work a theorem about Hopf bifurcation is given.
