On Fundamental Solution for Autonomous Linear Retarded Functional Differential Equations

This document focuses attention on the fundamental solution of an autonomous linear retarded functional differential equation (RFDE) along with its supporting cast of actors: kernel matrix, characteristic matrix, resolvent matrix; and the Laplace transform. The fundamental solution is presented in t...
