The problems of modern society are both complex and inter-disciplinary. Despite the - parent diversity of problems, however, often tools developed in one context are adaptable to an entirely different situation. For example, consider the well known Lyapunov’s second method. This interesting and fruitful technique has gained increasing signi?cance and has given decisive impetus for modern development of stability theory of discrete and dynamic system. It is now recognized that the concept of Lyapunov function and theory of diff- ential inequalities can be utilized to investigate qualitative and quantitative properties of a variety of nonlinear problems. Lyapunov function serves as a vehicle to transform a given complicated system into a simpler comparison system. Therefore, it is enough to study the properties of the simpler system to analyze the properties of the complicated system via an appropriate Lyapunov function and the comparison principle. It is in this perspective, the present monograph is dedicated to the investigation of the theory of causal differential equations or differential equations with causal operators, which are nonanticipative or abstract Volterra operators. As we shall see in the ?rst chapter, causal differential equations include a variety of dynamic systems and consequently, the theory developed for CDEs (Causal Differential Equations) in general, covers the theory of several dynamic systems in a single framework.

The theory of causal differential equations (CDE) includes several types of dynamic systems such as ordinary differential equations, functional differential equations, integro-differential equations (with or without memory), differential equations with anticipation and retardation. This is the first book which describes the theory of CDE as an independent discipline, incorporating the recent general theory of CDE and introducing several new ideas. This book is a timely introduction to the subject in a more generalised frame work. The present monograph collects recent works in this broad area and provides possible extensions to other dynamic systems involving causal operators such as CDE in abstract spaces, CDE with memory, CDE with fractional derivatives and causal set differential equations-giving initial apparatus, for further study in this important branch of nonlinear analysis.

Functional equations encompass most of the equations used in applied science and engineering: ordinary differential equations, integral equations of the Volterra type, equations with delayed argument, and integro-differential equations of the Volterra type. The basic theory of functional equations includes functional differential equations with cau

A mathematical procedure is given for singling out the causal solutions from the general set of solutions of self-adjoint differential equations. It consists in splitting the self-adjoint equation into a pair of adjoint equations whose solutions are purely causal and purely anti-causal, respectively. A subsequent merging of the equations then generates in full detail, including singularities, the causal and anti-causal :olutions of the original self -adjoint equation. As an important example, it is shown that the d'Alembertian with point source has a legitimate causal solution involving both retarded and advanced potentials at the source point itself, while at all other points, the retarded potential alone satisfies causality. Within the context of the formalism some recent attempts at modifying classical radiation theory can now be reassessed and more clearly categorized. In particular, the Dirac and Wheeler-Feynman approaches are examined in this light.

Many evolution processes are characterized by the fact that at certain moments of time they experience a change of state abruptly. These processes are subject to short-term perturbations whose duration is negligible in comparison with the duration of the process. Consequently, it is natural to assume that these perturbations act instantaneously, that is, in the form of impulses. It is known, for example, that many biological phenomena involving thresholds, bursting rhythm models in medicine and biology, optimal control models in economics, pharmacokinetics and frequency modulated systems, do exhibit impulsive effects. Thus impulsive differential equations, that is, differential equations involving impulse effects, appear as a natural description of observed evolution phenomena of several real world problems.
