Abstract: The functional differential equation \[ Q’\left ( t \right ) = AQ\left ( t \right ) + B{Q^T}\left ( {\tau - t} \right ), - \infty < t < \infty \], where $A$, $B$ are $n \times n$ constant matrices, $\tau \ge 0$, $Q\left ( t \right )$ is a differentiable $n \times n$ matrix and ${Q^T}\left ( t \right )$ is its transpose, is studied. Existence, uniqueness and an algebraic representation of its solutions are given.
