Memo
[edit]- I was surprised that this page had not yet existed considering the amount of research that has been done relating to functional differential equations (FDE). Although, upon learning more about them, I've realized FDE is a general term for certain forms of differential equations, namely delay equations.
- I did have trouble finding general information on certain terms. There has been a lot of research done on topics involving FDEs but not much on just generally defining FDEs. I deliberately ommitted the section on FDEs of Advanced type due to conflicting statements in references. Feel free to critique and brush up the page if you feel I have made mistakes of any sort.

Abbreviations
[edit]This article is rife with common (ODE) and less-than-common (FDE, DDE, RFDE, etc.) abbreviations. Given that there is no real need to abbreviate the text (there is no length requirement on Wiki pages, as far as I know), I propose removing the abbreviations entirely as I feel they lend no readability to the article (and, in fact, make it more difficult to read due to their similarity).Glosser.ca (talk) 19:28, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Other models using FDEs
[edit]Hi, everybody. A new application of FDEs has been recently published in a notable journal (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11071-020-05928-5) in connection with classical electrodynamics. I am the author of the paper, and therefore I am not the person allowed to upload the reference, since a COI is at stake. But perhaps somebody could simply add a modest line in the last section saying something like:
- Classical electrodynamics \cite{}.
The notion of FDEs has not received sufficient attention among the community of fundamental physics and it can help to introduce this important mathematical notion of dynamical systems to such community. Sincerely Alvaro12Lopez (talk) 09:56, 13 September 2020 (UTC).
"retarded" equations
[edit]request we replace the word "retarded" that has connotations as a slur elsewhere with the word "delayed" because it literally fits just as well and doesn't have a deeply negative connotation attached elsewhere.
maybe then i could read about these kinds of equations without crying..idk might be nice 2600:6C47:A03F:C443:399F:A88:9059:F60E (talk) 14:48, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
