“…Such equations form a special (though quite important) subclass of the class of functional differential equations, i. e., equations with arbitrary non-differential operators acting (apart from differential ones) on the desired function. Those non-differential operators might be integrodifferential ones (see, e. g., [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and references therein), operators of contractions and extensions of the independent variables (see, e.g., [9][10][11][12][13] and references therein), or others (see, e.g., [14,15] and references therein). Although those operators are, in general, bounded (unlike differential ones), they cannot be treated as small perturbations or subordinate terms of the equation: they are nonlocal terms, and, as we see in various investigations, the presence of such terms implies the presence of qualitatively new properties of the solutions.…”
