Functional Equations with Causal Operators presents the connection between the equations with causal operators and classical types of functional equations that mathematicians will encounter in the literature. It provides basic theorems of existence and uniqueness of the solution and properties of s

β¦ Synopsis
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

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 i
Emphasizing causation as a functional relationship between variables that describe objects, Linear Causal Modeling with Structural Equations integrates a general philosophical theory of causation with structural equation modeling (SEM) that concerns the special case of linear causal relations.

<p>In this book we shall study linear functional equations of the form m bu(x) == Lak(X)U(Qk(X)) = f(x), (1) k=l where U is an unknown function from a given space F(X) of functions on a set X, Qk: X -+ X are given mappings, ak and f are given functions. Our approach is based on the investigation of
