This course will introduce the general theory of linear delay differential equations
in finite dimensions. The presentation will follow the one that can be found
in J.K.Hale's books. A tentative content is as follows.
- Generalities : the state space, the Riesz representation of delay functionals, the Cauchy problem.
- Existence and uniqueness by a direct approach ; properties of the solution operator .
- Linear theory in the autonomous case : the fundamental matrix and the solution operator ; the variation of constants formula ; the formal duality and the adjoint equation.
- Linear theory in the nonautonomous case.
