Uniqueness theorem for ordinary differential equations with Hölder continuity

Yifei Pan, Mei Wang and Yu Yan

Vol. 263 (2013), No. 2, 453–473
Abstract

We study ordinary differential equations of the type u(n)(t) = f(u(t)), with initial conditions u(0) = u(0) = = u(m1)(0) = 0 and u(m)(0)0, where m n; no additional assumption is made on f. We establish some uniqueness results and show that f is always Hölder continuous.

Keywords
