Functional differential parabolic equations: integral transformations and qualitative properties of solutions of the Cauchy problem

In this monograph, we examine the Cauchy problem for second-order parabolic functional differential equations containing, in addition to differential operators, translation (generalized translation) operators acting with respect to spatial variables. The specified problems have important applications, such as the multilayer plates and envelopes theory, the diffusion processes theory, including biomathematical applications, models of nonlinear optics, etc. The main concern of the present work is the long-time behavior of solutions of studied problems.
