ODE – Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions, Dependence of Solutions on Initial Conditions
Theorem: Existence of Solutions
Suppose the function f ( t , x ) f(t, x) f(t,x) is defined and continuous on the rectangle R R R in the t x tx tx-plane. The given any point ( t 0 , x 0 ) ∈ R (t_0, x_0) \in R (t0,x0)∈R, the initial value problem
x ′ = f ( t , x ) a n d x ( t 0 ) = x 0 x'=f(t,x) \quad and \quad x(t_0)=x_0 x′=f(t,x)andx(t0)=x0
has a solution x ( t ) x(t) x(t) defined in an interval containing t 0 t_0 t0. Furthermore, the solution will be defined at least until the solution curve t → ( t , x ( t ) ) t \rightarrow (t, x(t)) t→(t,x(t)) leaves the rectangle R.
Theorem: Uniqueness of solutions
Suppose the function f(t, x) and its partial derivative ∂ f ∂ x \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} ∂x∂f are both continuous on the rectangle R in the t x tx tx-plane. Suppose ( t 0 , x 0 ) ∈ R (t_0,x_0) \in R
