Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of equilibrium in abstract non-autonomous functional differential equations (Q625794)

The authors give conditions that guarantee the existence of an equilibrium in continuous semiflows. The notion of equilibrium is taken from the theory of random dynamical systems (see [\textit{L. Arnold}, Random dynamical systems. Berlin: Springer (1998; Zbl 0906.34001)]). This work is focused on the case of a continuous skew-product semiflow, induced by a class of abstract finite-delay functional differential equations. In the case were the delay functional differential equations is not periodic, the existence of a an equilibrium is connected with the existence of globally defined solutions. In order to obtain a continuous equilibrium, the authors need to assume another extra condition. The case when the delay functional differential equations is periodic is also analyzed. At the end they give some example.
