Title: An existence theorem for Volterra integrodifferential equations with infinite delay Author: Ferenc Izsak (Lorand Eotvos Univ., Budapest, Hungary) Abstract: Using Schauder's fixed point theorem, we prove an existence theorem for Volterra integrodifferential equations with infinite delay. As an appplication, we consider an $n$ species Lotka-Volterra competitive system. Submitted October 21, 2002. Published January 7, 2003. Math Subject Classifications: 45J05, 45K05.
