We consider second order quasilinear evolution equations where also the main part contains functional dependence on the unknown function. First, existence of solutions in $(0,T)$ is proved and examples satisfying the assumptions of the existence theorem are formulated. Then a uniqueness theorem is proved. Finally, existence and some qualitative properties of the solutions in $(0,\infty )$ (boundedness and stabilization as $t\to \infty$) are shown.

We consider second order semilinear hyperbolic functional differential equations where the lower order terms contain functional dependence on the unknown function. Existence and uniqueness of solutions for t ∈ (0,T), existence for t ∈ (0,∞) and some qualitative properties of the solutions in (0,∞) are shown.

It is proved that parabolic equations with infinite delay generate $C_0$-semigroup on the space of initial conditions, such that local stable and unstable manifolds can be constructed for a fully nonlinear problems with help of usual methods of the theory of parabolic equations.

The existence of a one-parameter family of stationary solutions to a fragmentation equation with size diffusion is established. The proof combines a fixed point argument and compactness techniques.

We consider the following Darboux problem for the functional differential equation $\partial ²u/\partial x\partial y(x,y)=f(x,y,u_{(x,y)},\partial u/\partial x(x,y),\partial u/\partial y(x,y))$ a.e. in [0,a]×[0,b], u(x,y) = ψ(x,y) on [-a₀,a]×[-b₀,b]$0,a\left]\times \right(0,b],$where the function $u_{(x,y)}:[-a₀,0]\times [-b₀,0]\to {ℝ}^k$ is defined by $u_{(x,y)}(s,t)=u(s+x,t+y)$ for (s,t) ∈ [-a₀,0]×[-b₀,0]. We prove a theorem on existence of the Carathéodory solutions of the above problem.

The existence of the Hopf bifurcation for parabolic functional equations with delay of maximum order in spatial derivatives is proved. An application to an integrodifferential equation with a singular kernel is given.

Necessary and sufficient conditions have been found to force all solutions of the equation $${\left(r\left(t\right)y^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\right)}^{(n-1)}+a\left(t\right)h\left(y\left(g\left(t\right)\right)\right)=f\left(t\right),$$ to behave in peculiar ways. These results are then extended to the elliptic equation $${\left|x\right|}^{p-1}\Delta y\left(\right|x\left|\right)+a\left(\right|x\left|\right)h\left(y\right(g\left(\right|x\left|\right)\left)\right)=f\left(\right|x\left|\right)$$ where $\Delta$ is the Laplace operator and $p\ge 3$ is an integer.

In questo lavoro si considera il problema del controllo ottimo per un'equazione lineare con ritardo in uno spazio di Hilbert, con costo quadratico. Si dimostra che il problema della sintesi si traduce in una equazione di Riccati in uno opportuno spazio prodotto e si prova che tale equazione ammette un’unica soluzione.
