The theory of analytic differential systems in Banach algebras has been investigated by E. Hille and others, see for instance Chapter 6 in [4].

In this paper we show how a projection method used by W. A. Harris, Jr., Y. Sibuya, and L. Weinberg [3] can be applied to study a class of functional differential equations in this setting. The method, based on functional analysis, had been used extensively by L. Cesari [1] in similar forms for boundary value problems, and by J. K. Hale, S. Bancroft, and D. Sweet [2]. We also obtain as corollaries several results for ordinary differential equations in Banach algebras which were proved in a different way by Hille.
