A generalized Gronwall-Bellman inequality (Q2191386)

In this paper, some Gronwall-Bellman-type integral inequalities in which the argument of the exponent depends linearly on \(N\). Specifically, the following result is established: Let \(u(x)\), \(A(x)\) be nonnegatine continuous functions on \([0,x_0]\) satisfies \[ u(x) \le A + N\int^{x}_{0}P_m(N(x-\zeta))u(\zeta)d\zeta,\; x\in [0,x_0],\, x_0>0,\] where \(P_m(z)\) is a polynomial of degree \(m \ge 1\), i.e, \(P_m(z)=\sum^m_{k=0}a_k\frac{z^k}{k!}\) with coefficients \(a_k \ge 0\), then \[u(x) \le Ae^{\alpha x},~~x \in [0,x_0],\] where \(\alpha=N\max_{0 \le k \le m}(2^m a_k/C^k_m)^\frac{1}{(k+1)}\), and \(C^k_m\) are binomial coefficients, \(C^k_m =\frac{m!}{(k!(m-k)!)}.\) The above result is applied to obtain a solution of the Cauchy problem.
