Existence and uniqueness of solutions of boundary-value problems of neutral type (Q4375243)

Boundary value problems for the neutral functional-differential equation \[ \dot{x}(t)=f(t,x(h(t)),\dot{x}(\tau(t))),\qquad t\in[a,b], \] \[ x(\xi)=\dot{x}(\xi)=0,\qquad \xi\notin[a,b], \] \[ \psi x(a)+\int_{a}^{b}\varphi(s)\dot{x}(s) ds=\gamma, \] where \(f:[a,b]\times{\mathbb{R}}^n\times{\mathbb{R}}^n \rightarrow{\mathbb{R}}^n\), \(h,\tau:[a,b]\rightarrow{\mathbb{R}}\), \(\psi\) is a constant \(n\times n\)-matrix with \(\det\psi\neq0\), \(\varphi\) is an \(n\times n\)-matrix with elements from \(L_q([a,b],m)\) (\(m\) is a positive measure), \(\gamma\in{\mathbb{R}}^n\), are considered. An existence and uniqueness theorem for solutions from \(L_p([a,b],\nu)\), where \(p^{-1}+q^{-1}=1\) and \(\nu\) is some measure on \([a,b]\), is proved.
