Let [itex]t \in \mathbb{R}[/itex] be large.
Let [itex]f[/itex] be a function over [itex][0,t][/itex] satisfying [itex]f(0) = 1[/itex] and [itex]f'(x) = e^{-f(x)}[/itex] for all [itex]x[/itex].
Let [itex]g[/itex] be a function over [itex][0,t][/itex] satisfying [itex]g(0) = 1[/itex] and [itex]g'(x) = (1 - g(x)/t^2)^{t^2}[/itex] for all [itex]x[/itex]. Note that [itex]g'(x) \sim e^{-g(x)}[/itex].
Without solving the two differential equations and finding out [itex]f[/itex] and [itex]g[/itex] (which can be done at least approximately), can the fact that [itex]f(0)=g(0)=1[/itex] and [itex]g'(x) \sim e^{-g(x)}[/itex] be used to show that [itex]f(x) \sim g(x)[/itex] for all [itex]x[/itex] in [itex][0,t][/itex] ?
