Homework Statement


I have to prove that the solution of an ODE can be continued to a function [tex]\in \mathcal{C}^1(\mathbb{R})[/tex]. The solution is:
[tex]e^{-\frac{1}{x^2}} \int_{x_0}^x -\frac{2e^{\frac{1}{t^2}}}{t^2} dt[/tex]
It is clear that this function is not defined in [tex]x=0[/tex]. Its limit for [tex]x \rightarrow 0[/tex] though, seems to be zero. How do I prove it?

Homework Equations


Actually prove that the limit is zero.

The Attempt at a Solution


Should I use the dominated convergence theorem? Can't find the right function to dominate this one...

have you tried power expanding the exponentials in powers of [itex]\frac{1}{x^2}[/itex]?

may need some extra thought regarding convergence, so not sure whether it will work, but has nice from for it, so may be worth a crack...
