Abstract

This paper is concerned with an iterative functional differential equation x(t) = c1x(t) + c2x[2](t) + … cmχ[m](t) + F(t), where x[i](t) is the i-th iterate of the function x(t). By means of Schauder's Fixed Point Theorem, we establish a local existence theorem for smooth solutions which also depend continuously on the forcing function F(t).
