How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Continuous dependence of ODE solutions on initial data and parameters
Statement
Let be continuous on an open time-state-parameter domain and locally state-Lipschitz with one constant on compact cylinders. Near fixed data , the solutions supplied by Picard-Lindelof exist on one common compact time interval and depend jointly and uniformly continuously there on the initial time, initial state, and parameter. Quantitatively, if the common time interval has length at most , , and has state-Lipschitz constant , then solutions through and satisfy
where is a uniform modulus for the parameter dependence of on that cylinder.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Two nearby parameterized IVPs and a compact time-state-parameter cylinder around the fixed data on which the common state-Lipschitz constant exists.
A continuous map on a compact metric space is uniformly continuous (Heine-Cantor: a continuous map from a compact metric space to any metric space is uniformly continuous).
Gronwall's integral inequality converts an additive forcing error into an exponential stability bound (Gronwall's integral inequality with variable and constant coefficients).
On a time-state cylinder where , the state-Lipschitz constant is , , and , Picard–Lindelöf gives exactly one solution on the full interval of half-length whose graph lies in that cylinder (Picard-Lindelöf local existence and uniqueness for first-order systems).
A solution satisfies its associated Volterra integral equation (A first-order initial value problem is equivalent to its Volterra integral equation).
The norm of a vector integral is at most the integral of the Euclidean norm (For and integrable when , ; for , is integrable).
A continuous real-valued function on a nonempty compact metric space is bounded (A continuous real-valued function on a nonempty compact metric space is bounded and attains a greatest and a least value).
Proof
Choose a smaller compact time-state-parameter cylinder around . By [L6] the field norm has one bound there, while the stated compact-cylinder hypothesis supplies one state-Lipschitz constant . Choose positive spatial and temporal margins and one with and . Applying [L3] separately to every parameter slice and nearby initial datum gives a solution on inside the same state cylinder; after restricting to , all these intervals contain the fixed common interval . On the full compact parameter cylinder, [L1] bounds by a modulus tending to zero with the parameter distance.
Use [L4] to rebase the second Volterra equation from to , which costs at most , then split the remaining integrand into the state difference and the discrepancy of step 1.1; [L5] gives the stated errors plus times the accumulated state error, so [L2] yields the displayed bound and joint continuous dependence.
