Ebook: Functional Equations with Causal Operators

Written for science and engineering students, this graduate textbook investigates functional differential equations involving causal operators, which are also known as non-anticipative or abstract Volterra operators. Corduneanu (University of Texas, emeritus) develops the existence and stability theories for functional equations with causal operators, and the theories behind both linear and neutral functional equations with causal operators. The last chapter applies the theory to two problems in optimal control
