Existence and uniqueness of solutions for continuous and directionally differentiable ODE
Given $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$ continuous and directionally differentiable (i.e., such that the directional derivative of $f$ exists for any direction) at a neighborhood $N$ of $x_0\in\mathbb{...

On the "Peano phenomenon" in higher dimensions
The following result in one-dimensional differential equations is sometimes referred to as "Peano phenomenon" (see e.g. here).
If $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function, the ...

Global existence for one Cauchy problem based on global existence of other two auxiliary Cauchy problems
I have a Cauchy problem for the differential equation
\begin{equation}
y' = f(t, y),
\end{equation}
with initial condition $y(0) = y^0$; here, $y$ and $f$ are two-dimensional vector-functions. The ...

Lotka Volterra existence of Caratheodory solution
I strive to prove that the following system of differential equations:
$$\begin{cases} x'=x-u(t)xy\\ y'= -y+u(t)xy \\ x(0)=x_0>0\\ y(0)=y_0>0 \end{cases}$$
has a unique Caratheodory solution ...

Reference for Existence and uniqueness of an Integro-Differential Equation
I have an Integro-Differential Equation (IDE) of the following form:
$$
x'(t) = f(t,x(t)) + \int_0^t K(t-s, x(s), x(t)) ds,
$$
I have found this classical reference, but the IDEs considered therein ...

Global Solutions of Ordinary Differential Equations
Background
Let $f: [0, \infty) \times {\mathbb R}^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}^n$ be a jointly measurable function satisfying,
$f(t, \cdot)$ is locally Lipschitz for every $t \geqslant 0$,
for every ...

Continuous variation from solution of easy problem to solution of hard problem
I asked this question a week ago over on math.stackexchange and got no reply, so I am asking here with slightly different wording. I am trying to prove that there exists a solution to a problem. I ...

Is this 1974 claim still valid?
In G. F. Simmons' Differential Equations book (p.141), the following claim is made:
“... As a matter of fact, there is no known type of second order linear differential equation- apart from those with ...
