Existence of solutions to initial value problems for first-order differential equations (Q1881330)

The paper studies the existence of global relations to the initial value problem \(f\left( t,x,x^{\prime }\right) =0,x\left( a\right) =A\). For the sets \(D_{t},D_{x},D_{p}\subseteq \mathbb{R} \) such that \(a\in D_{t}\), and \(\left( A,0\right) \) is an interior point of \( D_{x}\times D_{p}\), the paper considers the following two cases for the scalar function \(f\left( t,x,p\right) \): (i) \(f\) is defined on the set \( D_{t}\times D_{x}\times D_{p}\) and continues on its suitable compact subset. (ii) There is a set \(S_{x}\subseteq D_{x},A\in S_{x}\), such that \(f\left( t,x,p\right) \) is either undefined on \(X=\left\{ \left( a,x\right) :x\in S_{x}\right\} \) for each \(p\in D_{p}\), discontinuous and bounded on \(X\) for each \(p\in D_{p}\) or for \(\left( x,p\right) \in S_{x}\times D_{p}\) it is bounded when \(t\longrightarrow a^{-}\).
