This monograph is a cumulation mainly of the author's research over a period of more than 10 years and offers easily verifiable existence criteria for differential, difference and integral equations over the infinite interval. An important feature of this monograph is the illustration of almost all results with examples. This book should turn out to be a stimulus to the further development of the theory.
