Optimality and existence for Lipschitz equations

Solutions of certain boundary value problems are shown to exist for the nth order differential equation y(n)=f(t,y,y′,…,y(n−1)), where f is continuous on a slab (a,b)×Rn and f satisfies a Lipschitz condition on the slab. Optimal length subintervals of (a,b) are determined, in terms of the Lipschitz...

description Solutions of certain boundary value problems are shown to exist for the nth order differential equation y(n)=f(t,y,y′,…,y(n−1)), where f is continuous on a slab (a,b)×Rn and f satisfies a Lipschitz condition on the slab. Optimal length subintervals of (a,b) are determined, in terms of the Lipschitz coefficients, on which there exist unique solutions.
