Generic flows generated by continuous vector fields in Banach spaces (Q1081014)

This paper is concerned with the generic properties of solutions to the initial value problems (*) \(x'=f(t,x)\), \(x(0)=y\), \(t\in [0,a)\), where f: [0,a)\(\times E\to E\) is continuous and E is an infinite-dimensional Banach space. In a precisely defined sense, the authors show that for ''most'' pairs (f,y), the equation (*) has a unique noncontinuable solution that depends continuously on the function f and the point y. Both local and global results are given, and analogous results for existence and convergence of Euler-Cauchy polygons are also included.
