It deals with time delays which usually are arisen in differential equations. Firstly, the project develops the main important known results of Delay Differential Equations, which are a specific case of Functional Differential Equations. In particular, we shall also focus on Delay Differential Equation with a constant delay. Secondly, different integrators of a general Delay Differential Equation with a constant delay are explained and their numerical results are exposed according to the made implementation scripts written in C and C++. By the way, an introduction to Automatic Differentiation Theory is also presented in order to be able to compute derivatives until a prefixed order of some suitable functions. Finally, a new method of computing periodic delayed orbits of a Delay Differential Equation with a constant delay is posed and a test of that new method is explained with some comments of the results.93 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Joan Gimeno i Alquézar, 2015http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Equacions diferencials retardadesEquacions funcionalsTreballs de fi de màsterDelay differential equationsFunctional equationsMaster's thesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
