MAAITAH Received 22 November 2004; Revised 28 June 2005; Accepted 4 August 2005 We use some consequences of the concept of semihyperbolicity of the solution operator to show robustness of solutions of the linear delay differential equation x (t) = Ax (t) + Bx (t − r) with infinite delay with respect to a small nonlinear perturbation.

Introduction The theory of continuous-time dynamical systems began with the study of qualitative properties of the solutions of autonomous ordinary differential equations. It is the prin- ciple mathematical technique for describing process that evolves continuously in time. Usually, this qualitative behaviour is described in terms of the solution map of the differ- ential equation defined on the state space. If the iterations of the time-1 map are consid- ered, the resulting system is then called discrete-time dynamical system. Due to round-off error, the approximated behaviour on long time intervals of the dynamical system using numerical techniques is not expected to reflect the behaviour of the original system. The concept of bishadowing provides a practical way of comparing the behaviour of the sys- tem and its approximation, see [6, 7, 9]. This concept is usually used to obtain justification of the validity of computation. In this paper, we use bishadowing to obtain a comparison result of solutions of lin- ear differential equation with infinite delay with respect to its nonlinear perturbation in terms of the solution maps of the two equations defined on the state space Cγ . In Section 2, we give some background
