Abstract: The nonimprovable sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of the problem $$ u'(t)=\ell (u)(t)+q(t),\qquad u(a)=c, $$ where $\ell C(I;\Bbb R)\to L(I;\Bbb R)$ is a linear bounded operator, $q\in L(I;\Bbb R)$, $c\in \Bbb R$, are established which are different from the previous results. More precisely, they are interesting especially in the case where the operator $\ell $ is not of Volterra's type with respect to the point $a$.

Keywords: linear functional differential equations, differential equations with deviating arguments, initial value problems
