Distributional and entire solutions of ordinary differential and functional differential equations

Abstract

A brief survey of recent results on distributional and entire solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODE) and functional differential equations (FDE) is given. Emphasis is made on linear equations with polynomial coefficients. Some work on generalized-function solutions of integral equations is also mentioned.
