Synopsis

By assuming that a linear scalar functional differential equation (FDE) has only the zero eigenvalue on the imaginary axis, it is shown that the flows on the centre manifolds of all Cr-perturbations of this equation coincide with the flows obtained from scalar ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of order m, where m is the multiplicity of the zero eigenvalue. Furthermore, it is shown that the above situation can be realized through differential difference equations with m – 1 fixed distinct delays.
