No label defined (Q4380229)

The following state-dependent delay system \[ x'(t)=f(t,x(t),x(t-\tau(t,x_t,\sigma)),\theta)=0, \quad t\in [0,T], \qquad x(t)=\phi (t), \quad t\in [-r,0], \tag{1} \] is considered. Here \(\theta \in \Theta \) and \(\sigma \in \Sigma \) represent parameters of the function \(f\) and of the delay function \(\tau \), where \(\Theta \) and \(\Sigma \) are normed linear spaces. The differentiability of solutions to (1) with respect to parameters \(\phi, \sigma, \theta\) is investigated. Sufficient conditions for the differentiability of solutions to (1) in \(W^{1,\infty }\) norm are given.
