By Faa di Bruno’s formula, using the fixed-point theorems of Schauder and Banach, we study ` the existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions of an iterative functional differential equation x t 1/c x 0 t c x 1 t · · · c x m t. 0 1 m 1. Introduction There has been a lot of monographs and research articles to discuss the kinds of solutions of functional differential equations since the publication of Jack Hale’s paper 1. Several papers discussed the iterative functional differential equations of the form x t H x 0 t , x 1 t , . . . , x m t , 1.1 where x 0 t t, x1 t x t, x k t x x k−1 t, k 2, . . . , m. More specifically, Eder 2 considered the functional differential equation x t x 2 t 1.2 and proved that every solution either vanishes
