    Does the Existence Theorem Contradict the Initial Value Problem?

    thanks for your reply! I posted the existence theorem I learned from class. In my opinion, the function we get y=Ax^4 is continuous, however, by using the existence theorem we could not find a solution. that is the contradict point. maybe the existence theorem is just sufficient. maybe...

    Does the Existence Theorem Contradict the Initial Value Problem?

    you are right, i made a mistake. I changed the answer. after put the initial conditions, there is still no solutions. thanks

    Does the Existence Theorem Contradict the Initial Value Problem?

    Homework Statement show the initial value problem x(dy/dx)=4y, y(0)=1 has no solution. does this contradict the existence theorem. please explain The Attempt at a Solution it is easy to find out a general solution is y=C*e^(4x), C is a constant. and for any x the right part of the...
