The seminar is devoted to the theory of delay differential equations with distributed delays or in other words with memory. The Linear Chain Trick is discussed and I show under which condition an equation with distributed delays is equivalent to the system of ordinary differential equations. The stability of steady states will be discussed. I show that the equation with distributed delays is more stable than with a discrete delay in the sense that steady states are stable for a wider range of parameters.
