Let $M > 0$ such that $\|\phi\| \le M$ everywhere. \\ Let $X$ be the set of continuous functions from $[t_0 - \eps, t_0 + \eps]$ to $\ol{B_\delta(y_0}$. By a lemma from lectures, $X$ is complete with the uniform metric $d$. Also note $X$ non-empty. \\ Define $T : X \to X$ by \[ Tg(t) = y_0 + \int_{t_0}^t \phi(x, g(x)) \dd x \] Note by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, $f$ is a fixed point of $T$ if and only if is a solution of the desired initial value problem. \\ If $g \in X$, $y \in [t_0 - \eps, t_0 + \eps]$ then \[ \|Tg(t) - y_0\| \le \cdots \le M\eps \] Also, if $g, h \in X$ and $t \in [t_0 - \eps, t_0 + \eps]$ then \[ \|Tg(t) - Th(t)\| \le \cdots \le K\eps d(g, h) \] i.e. $d(Tg, Th) \le K\eps d(g, h)$. \\ Now pick $\eps > 0$ small enough so that $T$ maps into $X$ ($\eps \le \frac{\delta}{M}$) and so that it is a contraction mapping ($\eps < \frac{1}{K}$). Then by the Contraction Mapping Theorem, $T$ has a unique fixed point as desired. } \end{hiddenflashcard} \begin{proof} As $\phi$ is a continuous function on a compact set so can find $M$ such that \[ \forall t \in [a, b] ~ \forall y \in \ol{B_\delta(y_0)} ~~ \|\phi(t, y)\| \le M \] Take $\eps > 0$ such that $[t_0 - \eps, t_0 + \eps] \subset [a, b]$. Let $X = \mathcal{C}([t_0 - \eps, t_0 + \eps], \ol{B_\delta(y_0)})$. Then by Lemma 14, $X$ is complete with the uniform metric $d$. And obviously $X \neq \emptyset$. For $g \in X$, define $Tg : [t_0 - \eps, t_0 + \eps] \to \RR^n$ by \[ Tg(t) = y_0 + \int_{t_0}^t \phi(x, g(x)) \dd x \] Note that by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, $Tf = f$ if and only if $f$ is a solution of ($*$). \\ Now, if $g \in X$ and $t \in [t_0 - \eps, t_0 + \eps]$ then \begin{align*} \|Tg(t) - y_0\| &= \left\| \int_{t_0}^t \phi(x, g(x)) \dd x \right\| \\ &\le \int_{t_0}^t \|\phi(x, g(x))\| \dd x \\ &\le M\eps \end{align*} Also, if $g, h \in X$ and $t \in [t_0 - \eps, t_0 + \eps]$ then \begin{align*} \|Tg(T) - Th(t)\| &= \left\|\int_{t_0}^t (\phi(x, g(x)) - \phi(x, h(x))) \dd x \right\| \\ &\le \int_{t_0}^t \|\phi(x, g(x)) - \phi(x, h(x))\| \dd x \\ &\le \int_{t_0}^t K \|g(x) - h(x)\| \dd x \\ &\le K \eps d(g, h) \end{align*} i.e. $d(Tg, Th) \le K\eps d(g, h)$. So taking $\eps = \min \left\{ \frac{\delta}{M}, \frac{1}{2K} \right\}$ we have that $T$ is a contraction of $X$ and so has a unique fixed point by Contraction Mapping Theorem as desired. \end{proof} \begin{remark*} Not that much use as stated - doesn't provide a global solution. Might or might not be one. In practice, given appropriate conditions on $\phi$ can often `patch together' local solutions. Beyond scope of this course. \end{remark*} \newpage \section{The Inverse Function Theorem} \begin{flashcard}[inverse-fn-thm] \begin{theorem}[The Inverse Function Theorem] \cloze{ Let $f : \RR^n \to \RR^n$ be \fcemph{continuously differentiable} at $a \in \RR^n$ with $\alpha = Df|_a$ being \fcemph{non-singular}. Then there exist open neighbourhoods $U$ of $a$ and $V$ of $f(a)$ such that $f|_U$ is a homeomorphism of $U$ onto $V$. \myskip Moreover, if $g : V \to U$ is the inverse of $f|_U$, then $g$ is differentiable at $f(a)$ with $Dg|_{f(a)} = \alpha^{-1}$. } \end{theorem} \end{flashcard} \begin{proof} (We won't prove the fact about differentiability of the inverse in this course). \\ Write \[ f(a + h) = f(a) + \alpha(h) + \eps(h) \|h\| \] where $\eps(h) \to 0$ as $h \to 0$. Let $\delta, \eta > 0$ such that $f$ is differentiable on $\ol{B_\delta(a)}$. Let $W = \ol{B_\delta(a)}$, $V = B_\eta(f(a))$. Define $\phi : \RR^n \to \RR^n$ by $\phi(x) = f(X) - \alpha(x)$. Then for $x \in W$, $\phi$ is differentiable at $x$ with \[ D\phi|_x = Df|_x - \alpha \to 0 \] as $x \to a$. Note $W$ is a complete, non-empty metric space. \\ Fix $y \in V$. Define $T_y : W \to \RR^n$ by $T_y(x) = x - \alpha^{-1}(f(x) - y)$. Note $f(x) = y \iff T_y(x) = x$. Now, given $x \in W$, \begin{align*} \|T_y a\| &= \|\alpha^{-1}(\alpha x - f(x) + y - \alpha(a)\| \\ &= \|\alpha^{-1}(y - f(x) + \alpha(x - a))\| \\ &= \|\alpha^{-1}(y - f(a) - \eps(x - a)\|x - a\|)\| \\ &\le \|\alpha^{-1}\|(\|y - f(a)\| + \|\eps(x - a)\| \|x - a\|) \\ &\le \|\alpha^{-1}\|(\eta + \delta\|\eps(x - a)\|) \end{align*} Also, given $w, x \in W$, \begin{align*} \|T_y x - T_y w\| &= \|\alpha^{-1}(\alpha x - f(x) + f(w) - \alpha(w))\| \\ &= \|\alpha^{-1}(\phi(w) - \phi(x))\| \\ &\le \|\alpha^{-1}\| \|\phi(w) - \phi(x)\| \\ &\le \|\alpha^{-1}\| \|w - x\| \sup_{z \in W} \|D \phi|_z\| \end{align*} by Mean Value Inequality. Pick $\delta > 0$ sufficiently small such that $\forall x \in \ol{B_\delta(a)}$ we have $\|\eps(x - a)\| < \frac{1}{2\|\alpha^{-1}\|}$ and also $\sup_{z \in W} \|D \phi|_z\| < \frac{1}{\alpha^{-1}}$. (Can do this since $\eps(x - a) \to 0$ as $x \to a$ and $D\phi|_x \to 0$ as $x \to a$.). Take $y = \frac{\delta}{2}$. Then for each $y \in V$ we have $\forall x \in W \|T_y x - a\| < \delta$ and $\forall x, w \in W ~~ \|T_y x - T_y w\| \le K\|w - x\|$ where $K < 1$ is a constant. So $T_y$ is a contraction of $W$ and thus by Contraction Mapping Theorem has a unique fixed point, $x_y \in T_y(W) \subset B_\delta(a)$. That is, for each $y \in V$, there is a unique $x \in W$ with $f(x) = y$, and in fact $x \in B_\delta(a)$. \\ Let $U$ be the set of all such $x$. Let $h = f|_{B_\delta(a)}$. Then $U = h^{-1}(V)$ so $U$ is open in $B_\delta(a)$. But $B_\delta(a)$ is open in $\RR^n$ so $U$ is open in $\RR^n$. \\ So now have open neighbourhoods $U$ of $a$ and $V$ of $f(a)$ such that $f$ maps $U$ bijectively onto $V$. \\ Remains to show inverse function is continuous. Let $X = \mathcal{C}(V, W)$. As $W$ is bounded, similarly to Lemma 14 we have $X$ is a complete, non-empty metric space with the uniform metric. Define $S : X \to X$ by \begin{align*} (Sg)(y) &= g(y) - \alpha^{-1}(f(g(y)) - y) \\ &= T_y(g(y)) \end{align*} Given $g, h \in X$ and $y \in V$, \begin{align*} \|(Sg)(y) - (Sh)(y)\| &= \|T_y(g(y)) - T_y(h(y))\| \\ &\le K\|g(y) - h(y)\| \\ &\le K d(g, h) \end{align*} So $d(Sg, Sh) \le K d(g, h)$. Now $S$ is a contraction of $X$ so by Contraction Mapping Theorem has a unique fixed point $g$. And by definition of $S$, for each $y \in V$, we have $g(y)$ is the unique $x \in W$ with $f(x) = y$. Hence $g = (f|_U)^{-1}$. But $g \in X$ so $(f|_U)^{-1}$ is continuous and thus $f|_U$ is a homeomorphism from $U$ onto $V$. \end{proof}
