We study the existence, uniqueness and regularity properties of solutions for the functional equationy(t) =b(t)y(θ(t)) +f(t),t∈ [0,T], where the delay functionθ(t) vanishes att= 0. Functional equations corresponding to the linear delay functionθ(t) =qt(0 <q< 1) represent an important special case. We then analyse the optimal order of convergence of piecewise polynomial collocation approximations to solutions of these functional equations. The theoretical results are illustrated by extensive numerical examples.
