Nonlinear initial-value problems and Schauder bases (Q2573536)

The purpose of this paper is to consider an approximation of the solution to the classical initial value problem \[ x'(t)=f(t,x(t)),\quad t\in[\alpha,\alpha+\beta],\quad x(\alpha)=x_0, \] where \(f:[\alpha,\alpha+\beta]\times\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^n\) is a continuous function satisfying a Lipschitz-type condition with respect to the second variable. The construction of these approximations is based on a Schauder basis closely connected with the problem under consideration. The main result is illustrated by a numerical example concerning the Liénard equation.
