Abstract

A recent nonlinear alternative for contraction maps in Fréchet spaces due to Frigon and Granas is used to investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions to first-order boundary value problems for impulsive functional differential equations with infinite delay. An example to illustrate the results is included.
