Extract

The usual method of dealing with delay differential equations such as

is the method of steps [1, 2]. In this, y(x) is assumed to be known for − α < x < 0, thereby defining over 0 < x < α. As a result of integration, the value of y is now known over 0 < x < α, and the integration proceeds thereon by a succession of steps.
