Abstract
T. A. Burton presented in some examples of integral equations a notion of progressive contractions on C([a, ∞[). In 2019, I. A. Rus formalized this notion (I. A. Rus, Some variants of contraction principle in the case of operators with Volterra property: step by step contraction principle, Advances in the Theory of Nonlinear Analysis and its Applications, 3 (2019) no. 3, 111–120), put ”step by step” instead of ”progressive” in this notion, and give some variant of step by step contraction principle in the case of operators with Volterra property on C([a, b], B) and C([a, ∞[, B) where B is a Banach space. In this paper we use the abstract result given by I. A. Rus, to study some classes of functional differential equations with maxima.

In 1990, Corduneanu investigated functional differential equations involving abstract Volterra operators. In this sense, around the year 2000 Corduneanu [7] presented a general study on functional differential equations with abstract or causal Volterra operators.
On the other hand, T.A. Burton ([3]-[6]) presented in some examples of integral equations a notion of progressive contractions on In 2019, following the idea of T.A. Burton and the forward step method ([19]), I.A. Rus formalized this notion ([21]), with ”step by step” instead of ”progressive”, and give some variant of step by step contraction principle in the case of operators with Volterra property on and where is a Banach space.
In this paper we consider the following functional differential equation with maxima

An operator is called weakly Picard operator (WPO) if the sequence of successive approximations, , converges for all and its limit (which generally depend on ) is a fixed point of . If an operator is WPO with a unique fixed point, that is, , then, by definition, is called a Picard operator (PO).
If is a WPO, we can define the operator , by

3. Main result
In this section, we shall establish a new result of existence and uniqueness of the solution of the functional differential equation with maxima (1.1).
The problem (1.1)–(1.2), is equivalent with the fixed point equation
(3.3) |
It is clear that equation (3.3) is equivalent with , where the operator defined by
(3.4) |
The operator has the Volterra property, i.e.,
This implies that the operator induced, for each with and, the operator defined by, where is such that, .
In what follows we consider the notations from Section 2.3, where .
We have
Theorem 3.2.
We suppose that:

(2)
is such that
Then, we have

We shall prove that in the conditions (1) and choosing as in (2), we are in the conditions of Theorem of step by step contractions.
Let us prove that is an contraction. We have:
It follows that
So, is a contraction.
Let us prove that is a -contraction. First we remark that, for
In a similar way we prove that are contractions.
Now the prove follows from the Theorem of step by step contractions. ∎
Remark 3.1.
In the conditions of the Theorem 3.2 let us denote Then we have that:
The sequence of successive approximations
converges uniformly on to
The sequence of successive approximations
converges uniformly on to
The sequence of successive approximations
converges uniformly on to
The above considerations give rise to the following problem: In which conditions the operator is Picard operator?
From the Fibre contraction principle (see [21]) the answer is the following: In the conditions of the Theorem 3.2, the operator is a Picard operator with respect to the uniform convergence on
In order to prove this we consider the following operators induced by the operator First of all from (3.4) we have that:
(4.1) ,
(4.2) ,
(4.k)
Let be defined by,
We also consider the following subset:

In the conditions of Theorem 3.2, the operators, are contractions. From the Fibre contraction Principle, is a Picard operator.
Now, we observe that: and These imply that the operator is a Picard operator.
4. Differential inequalities
In this section we will emphasize the importance of the above result by applying for the operator the Gronwall type inequalities and the comparison theorem.
In this section we suppose that
-
there exists such that
for all and
We consider on the max norm and in condition the operator defined by (3.4) is a Picard operator. So, in the condition , the problem (1.1)-(1.2) has in a unique solution Moreover, for for each where is defined by
Now we can apply Abstract Gronwall Lemma (see [21]).
Theorem 4.3.
Let us consider the problem (1.1)-(1.2) in the condition and is increasing, i.e., for all . Let us denote by the unique solution of (1.1)-(1.2). Then the following implications holds:
-

-
(ii)
In a similar way, a comparison theorem for equation (1.1) can be obtained, using the Abstract Comparison Lemma.
We consider now the following functional differential equations with maxima
(4.5) |
with the condition
