The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to the mathematical theory of infinite dimensional dynamical systems by focusing on a relatively simple, yet rich, class of examples, that is, those described by delay differential equations. It is a textbook giving detailed proofs and providing many exercises, which is intended both for self-study and for courses at a graduate level. The book would also be suitable as a reference for basic results. As the subtitle indicates, the book is about concepts, ideas, results and methods from linear functional analysis, complex function theory, the qualitative theory of dynamical systems and nonlinear analysis. After studying this book, the reader should have a working knowledge of applied functional analysis and dynamical systems.
