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.

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.
