Abstract
In applications, the future behavior of many phenomena are assumed to be described by the solutions of an ordinary differential equation. Implicit in this assumption is that the future behavior is uniquely determined by the present and independent of the past. In differential difference equations, or more generally functional differential equations, the past exerts its influence in a significant manner upon the future. Many models are better represented by functional differential equations, than by ordinary differential equations.
