Download Solution PDFConsider the initial value problem (IVP)
Consider the following statements:
S1: There is an ε > 0 such that for all y0 ∈ ℝ, the IVP has more than one solution.
S2: There is a

Lipschitz condition: A function
The constant
Explanation:
S1: There is an
S2: There is a
The differential equation is
equation is always positive and well-defined for any
In general, the uniqueness of solutions to IVPs can often be determined by the Lipschitz condition.
For a function
This function is continuous and bounded for all
Therefore, the function satisfies the Lipschitz condition, ensuring that the IVP has a unique solution for each
S1: This statement claims that there is some
From our uniqueness analysis (Lipschitz condition), the IVP actually has a unique solution for all
Therefore, S1 is false.
S2: This statement claims that for some
Based on the same reasoning (Lipschitz condition and continuity of the derivative), the solution remains
unique for all
Both statements S1 and S2 are false.
Thus, the correct option is 4).
