Maximum principle for Volterra integral equations with controlled delay time

Optimal control problems are considered for a special class of nonlinear Volterra integral equations with unknown functions in the limits of integration. The equations describe the renewal of age-dependent capital equipment under technological change. A dual system and a maximum principle are established for such problems.
