The authors consider nonlinear differential equations with variable delay and quasilinear neutral differential equations in the case when at the initial moment the value of the initial function does not coincide with the initial value of the trajectory (discontinuity at the initial moment). Continuity and differentiability of solutions to the Cauchy problem with respect to the initial data and right-hand side are investigated. The first chapter deals with delay equations. A theorem of continuous dependence of solutions on perturbations is proved. Also estimates of the increment of solutions are established with respect to small perturbations in the sense of Euclidean topology. Further, the authors use these estimates to obtain representation formulas for the differential of solutions. In the second chapter the above results are extended to neutral differential equations whose right-hand sides are linear with respect to the phase velocity.
