This monograph consists of two chapters. In Chapter 1, the boundary value problem $\frac{dx(t)}{dt}=p(x)(t)+q(t),\qquad l(x)=c\tag{1}$ is considered on the interval $$[a,b]$$, where $$p:C([a,b];\mathbb R^n)\to L([a,b];\mathbb R^n)$$ and $$l:C([a,b];\mathbb R^n)\to \mathbb R^n$$ are linear bounded operators, $$q\in L([a,b];\mathbb R^n)$$, and $$c\in R^n$$. In § 1.1, there are established general theorems on the Fredholmity of $$(1)$$ and Green’s formula. § 1.2 deals with theorems on differential inequalities. Based on results from § 1.2, in § 1.3 there are established effective criteria on the unique solvability of problem $$(1)$$. § 1.4 is devoted to the well–posedness of $$(1)$$. All the results are concretized for systems of equations with deviating arguments and for special cases of boundary conditions (initial condition, multi-point boundary condition, and periodic condition).
In Chapter 2, there is considered the system of equations $\frac{dx(t)}{dt}=p(x)(t)+q(t)\tag{2}$ on the real axis. In § 2.1, there are established effective criteria guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of $$\omega-$$periodic solutions of $$(2)$$, provided $$p:C_{\omega}(\mathbb R^n)\to L_{\omega}(\mathbb R^n)$$ is a linear bounded operator and $$q\in L_{\omega}(\mathbb R^n)$$. In § 2.2, there are proved theorems on the existence and uniqueness of a bounded solution of $$(2)$$, assuming that $$p:C_{loc}(\mathbb R;\mathbb R^n)\to L_{loc}(\mathbb R;\mathbb R^n)$$ is a linear continuous operator and $$q\in L_{loc}(\mathbb R;\mathbb R^n)$$. Both in § 2.1 and § 2.2, the results obtained are concretized for systems of equations with deviating arguments.
