    Odes Resources
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on confusion regarding the Picard-Lindelöf theorem and its converse, with a request for additional resources to clarify these concepts. The moderator suggests that the confusion may stem from misunderstanding the theorem's implications for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). They mention Okamura's theorem as a related necessary condition for uniqueness, which could be useful for further research. Additionally, there is a concern about the original poster's lack of engagement in the discussion. The thread has been locked due to the OP's absence.

I always confuse picard-lindelof forints converse. I want additional reading but don't know how to find it.

Moderator Note: Moved from Academic Advising since it is too specific, and too narrow for Science Textbooks.

You confuse Picard-Lindelöf with what? Hungarian money? And what are you looking for? The internet is full of proofs of Picard-Lindelöf.

So that we can help you with this, can you post here:
  1. what you think is the converse of the Picard–Lindelöf theorem?
  2. an example of where you have had this confusion?
 
Since Picard-Lindelof gives a sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution to an ODE, perhaps by a converse you mean a necessary condition. Such a condition is called Okamura's (uniqueness) theorem, which you can search online.

Agreed. OP is on a temporary vacation from PF, and this thread is now locked. Thanks all for trying to help the OP with their question.
