Peano's theorem for implicit differential equations (Q5940335): Difference between revisions

The author proves an existence result for the Cauchy problem \[ F(t,x,x', \ldots,x^{(m)})=0,\quad x(0)=x_0,x'(0)=x_1, \ldots, x^{(m-1)}(0)=x_{m-1}, \] with \(m \in {\mathbb N}\). He looks for solutions in the Lipschitz sense and gives an example where there exist no classical solutions. In the proofs, the viscosity lower and upper solutions method is used.
