Synopsis

This paper is concerned with the existence of solutions of a two point boundary value problem for neutral functional differential equations. We consider the problem

where M and N are n × n matrices. This is examined by using the “shooting method”. Also, an example is given to illustrate how our result can be applied to yield the existence of solutions of a periodic boundary value problem.
