This book is intended to all scientists wishing to extract analytical informations from a DDE. It is a revised and largely expanded version of a series of lectures first given at the Université Libre de Bruxelles in 2002-2003 and then at the Université Joseph Fourier (Grenoble) during the spring of 2003. The minimum prerequisites for this book is a facility with calculus, experience with differential equations, and an elementary knowledge of bifurcation theory. There exists a large theoretical iterature devoted to DDEs going from pure mathematical issues to practical engineering applications. Accessible and general introduction to delay differential equations Encompasses a variety of applications Includes over 150 illustrations and many examples and exercises INDICE: Introduction.- Linear stability.- Biology.- Traffic flow.- Musicalinstruments.- Gantry cranes.- Chemistry.- Mechanical vibrations.- Lasers.- Phase equations with delay.
