Abstract

An initial value problem for the functional differential equation

y′(t) =Ay(t) +By(qt) +Cy′(qt) +f(t), t ≥ t0 > 0

where A, B, C are complex matrices, q∈(0, 1), and f is a vector of continuous functions, is considered in this paper. Its solution is represented in terms of the fundamental solution via the variation-of-constants formula. For some special cases, the fundamental solutions are formulated as piecewise Dirichlet series. The variation-of-constants formula is used to analysis the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of some scalar equations, including one with variable coefficients related to coherent states of the q-oscillator algebra in quantum mechanics.
