Click For Summary
For the initial value problem defined by the matrix equation $\overset{\cdot }{\mathop{x}}\,=Ax$ with distinct real eigenvalues, the solution $u(t,x_0)$ is expressed as $u(t,x_{0}) = c_{0}\ A\ e^{\lambda\ t}$, where $c_{0}= x_{0}\ A^{-1}$. This formulation demonstrates that $u(t,x_0)$ is linear in $x_0$, ensuring its continuity. Consequently, it follows that for any fixed time $t \in \mathbb{R}$, the limit $\lim_{y_0\to x_0}u(t,y_0)$ equals $u(t,x_0)$. Thus, the continuity of the solution with respect to initial conditions is established.

Let $A_{n\times n}$ be a matrix with real and distincts eigenvalues. Let $u(t,x_0)$ be a solution for the initial value problem $\overset{\cdot }{\mathop{x}}\,=Ax$ with $x(0)=x_0,$ then show that for each fixed $t\in\mathbb R,$ we have $$\lim_{y_0\to x_0}u(t,y_0)=u(t,x_0).$$

[sp]The general solution of the IVP is $\displaystyle u(t,x_{0}) = c_{0}\ A\ e^{\lambda\ t}$, where $\displaystyle c_{0}= x_{0}\ A^{-1}$, so that $u(t,x_{0})$ is linear in $x_{0}$ and therefore continous...[/sp]Kind regards $\chi$ $\sigma$
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
