Equations with infinite delay: blending the abstract and the concrete (Q652457)

In the case of infinite delay, the authors prove the principle of linearized stability for nonlinear renewal equations \(x(t)=F(x_t),\,\,t>0\), for delay-differential equations \(\dot y(t)=F(y_t),\,\,t>0\), and for coupled systems of these two types of equations \(x(t)=F_1(x_t,y_t),\,\,\dot y(t)=F_2(x_t,y_t),\,\,t>0\), where \(x_t\) and \(y_t\) denote the histories of \(x\) and \(y\), respectively. In the proofs of the main results, they use the perturbation theory for adjoint semigroups (a modification of sun-star calculus).
