Proving Lipschitz Condition for F with $\| \cdot \|_{1}$ Norm

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on proving that the function F is Lipschitz continuous using the \| \cdot \|_{1} norm. The user aims to demonstrate that \|F(t, y) - F(t, z)\|_{1} < k|y-z| for t in \mathbb{R} and y, z in Y(t) in \mathbb{R}^{2}. The function F is defined as F(t, Y(t)) = (y', -\frac{g}{L}\sin(y)). The user concludes that they have resolved the issue by proving |sin(y)| ≤ |y|, which aids in establishing the Lipschitz condition.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Lipschitz continuity
  • Familiarity with the \| \cdot \|_{1} norm
  • Basic knowledge of trigonometric functions and their properties
  • Experience with differential equations, specifically y''(t) = -g/L [sin y(t)]
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of Lipschitz continuous functions
  • Explore the implications of the \| \cdot \|_{1} norm in functional analysis
  • Review proofs involving trigonometric inequalities, particularly for sine and cosine functions
  • Investigate the application of Lipschitz conditions in solving differential equations
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students studying real analysis, and anyone interested in understanding Lipschitz continuity in the context of differential equations and trigonometric functions.

I need to prove that the function F is Lipschitz, using the
\| \cdot \|_{1} norm.

that is, for
t \in \mathbb{R}
and
y, z \in Y(t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2}

I must show that
\|F(t, y) - F(t, z)\|_{1} &lt; k|y-z|

F(t, Y(t)) is given as

F(t, Y(t)) = \left( \begin{array}{cc} y&#039; \\ \displaystyle{-\frac{g}{L}\sin(y)}\end{array} \right)

my only other given is that
y"(t) = -g/L [sin y(t)]
where g and L are constants.

Now if my calculations are correct, I only need to show that the following is true:

\|[\frac{g}{L}(\cos y(t) - \cos z(t)] - [\frac{-g}{L} (\sin y(t) - \sin z(t)] \|_{1} &lt; K|y-z|

|\frac{g}{L}(\cos y(t) - \cos z(t)| + |-\frac{-g}{L} (\sin y(t) - \sin z(t)| &lt; K|y-z|

however, I don't know how to prove the above inequality.
I know that the absolute values of both cos and sin are less than or equal to one, but I don't know if that is helpful.

anyone? help please. thanks!
 
ok, please ignore this question,I think I may have solved it after I was able to prove |siny| <= |y| in the other thread.

thanks for reading.
