Abstract
In vague terms, a neutral functional differential equation is one in which the derivatives of the past history or derivatives of functionals of the past history are involved as well as the present state of the system. When the derivatives of the past history enter in an arbitrary manner, most of the literature is devoted to existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence. A qualitative theory for such general systems has not been developed at the present time.
