Abstract
We consider functional-differential equations with the Dirichlet conditions and with contraction and dilatation of the arguments. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained under which a Gårding type inequality holds. These results allow us to verify coerciveness by using a special “symbol” of the equation considered.
