Sharp conditions are obtained for the unique solvability of focal boundary value problems for higher-order functional differential equations under integralrestrictions on functional operators. In terms of the norm of the functional operator,unimprovable conditions for the unique solvability of the boundary value problem areestablished in the explicit form. If these conditions are not fulfilled, then there exists apositive bounded operator with a given norm such that the focal boundary value problem with this operator is not uniquely solvable. In the symmetric case, some estimatesof the best constants in the solvability conditions are given. Comparison with existingresults is also performed..
