On neutral functional-differential equations with variable time delays

Consider the initial value problem \[ y'(t)-c(t)y' \bigl( \varphi(t) \bigr)= f\biggl(t,y(t), y\bigl(\varphi (t)\bigr) \biggr),\;t\geq 0,\;y(0)=y_0,\tag{1} \] where \(c\) and \(f\) are complex continuous on \(\mathbb{R}^+\) and \(\mathbb{R}^+\times\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{C}\), respectively, \(\varphi\) is a real continuous function on \(\mathbb{R}^+\) with \(0\leq \varphi (t)\leq t\) for all \(t\in \mathbb{R}^+\), and \(y_0\in\mathbb{C}\), the authors investigate the effect of the neutral term on existence and uniqueness of solutions to (1). They prove a comparison theorem and apply it to a functional Riccati equation. The authors study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the generalized pantograph equation under a linear perturbation.
