Abstract
We consider several models of state dependent delay differential equations (SDDEs), in which the delay is affected by a small parameter. This is a very singular perturbation since the nature of the equation changes. Under some conditions, we construct formal power series, which solve the SDDEs order by order. These series are quasi-periodic functions of time. This is very similar to the Lindstedt procedure in celestial mechanics.Truncations of these power series can be taken as input for a posteriori theorems, that show that near the approximate solutions there are true solutions. In this way, we hope that one can construct a catalogue of solutions for SDDEs, bypassing the need of a systematic theory of existence and uniqueness for all initial conditions.
