Summary: The paper discusses the asymptotic behaviour of all solutions of the differential equation \[ \dot y(t)=-a(t)y(t)+\sum^n_{i=1}b_i(t)y\bigl( \tau_i(t) \bigr)+f(t),\;t\in I=[t_0,\infty), \] with a positive continuous function \(a\), continuous functions \(b_i\), \(f\), and \(n\) continuously differentiable unbounded lags. We establish conditions under which any solution \(y\) of this equation can be estimated by means of a solution of an auxiliary functional equation with one unbounded lag. Moreover, some related questions concerning functional equations are discussed as well.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1089.34002].
