An Introduction to Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems
We overview some of the tools available today for the study of dynamical systems generated by retarded functional differential equations or partial differential equations. For this we recall basic results of the theory of ordinary differential equations. To exemplify in infinite dimensions we consider the flow generated by the heat equation.
