Abstract
A recent nonlinear alternative for contraction maps in
Fréchet spaces due to Frigon and Granas is used to
investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions to
first-order boundary value problems for impulsive functional
differential equations with infinite delay. An example to
illustrate the results is included.
