Item Description:The motivation for writing these notes came from a series of lectures of the third author on retarded functional differential equations at the Lefschetz Center for Dynamical Systems of the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University during the spring of 1982. Partial financial support was obtained from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, AF-AFOSR 81- 0198, National Science Foundation, MCS 79-05774-05, U. S. Army Research Office, DAAG-29-79-C-016l, Instituto Nacional de Investiga~ao Cientifica, Portugal, Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq), Proc. No. 40. 3278/81, Fapesp and Reitoria da Universidade de Sao Paulo, Brasil. The authors appreciate the efforts of Dorothy Libutti, Katherine MacDougall, and Nancy Gancz for the preparation of the manuscript. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2.
