Request resources to understand Picard–Lindelöf for ODEs

In summary, the request seeks resources that explain the Picard–Lindelöf theorem, which addresses the existence and uniqueness of solutions to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The aim is to gather educational materials, such as textbooks, articles, and online lectures, that provide a clear understanding of the theorem's concepts and applications in solving ODEs.

I always confuse picard-lindelof forints converse. I want additional reading but don't know how to find it.

Moderator Note: Moved from Academic Advising since it is too specific, and too narrow for Science Textbooks.

You confuse Picard-Lindelöf with what? Hungarian money? And what are you looking for? The internet is full of proofs of Picard-Lindelöf.

So that we can help you with this, can you post here:
  1. what you think is the converse of the Picard–Lindelöf theorem?
  2. an example of where you have had this confusion?

Since Picard-Lindelof gives a sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution to an ODE, perhaps by a converse you mean a necessary condition. Such a condition is called Okamura's (uniqueness) theorem, which you can search online.

Agreed. OP is on a temporary vacation from PF, and this thread is now locked. Thanks all for trying to help the OP with their question.
