We develop a theory for sensitivity with respect to parameters in
a convex subset of a topological vector space of dynamical systems
in a Banach space. Specific motivating examples for probability
measure dependent differential, partial differential and delay
differential equations are given. Schemes that approximate the
measures in the Prohorov sense are illustrated with numerical
simulations for distributed delay differential equations.

Abstract
We develop a theory for sensitivity with respect to parameters in
a convex subset of a topological vector space of dynamical systems
in a Banach space. Specific motivating examples for probability
measure dependent differential, partial differential and delay
differential equations are given. Schemes that approximate the
measures in the Prohorov sense are illustrated with numerical
simulations for distributed delay differential equations.
