Title: Existence and uniqueness of solutions for quasi-linear differential equations with deviating arguments Authors: Rajib Haloi (Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India) Dhirendra Bahuguna (Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India) Dwijendra N. Pandey (Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India) Abstract: We prove the existence and uniqueness of a local solution to a quasi-linear differential equation of parabolic type with deviated argument in an arbitrary Banach space. The results are obtained by applying the Sobolevskii-Tanabe theory of parabolic equations, fractional powers of operators, and the Banach fixed point theorem. We include an example that illustrates the theory. Submitted August 15, 2011. Published January 17, 2012. Math Subject Classifications: 34G20, 34K30, 35K90, 47N20.
