Abstract

We study evolution semigroups associated with nonautonomous functional differential equations. In fact, we convert a given functional differential equation to an abstract autonomous evolution equation and then derive a representation theorem for the solutions of the underlying functional differential equation. The representation theorem is then used to study the boundedness and almost periodicity of solutions of a class of nonautonomous functional differential equations.
