The integral operator is a contraction with constant 1/2 for the weighted uniform distance with weight exp(-2L(t-a)) on the complete space of continuous maps; its unique fixed point is the unique solution. Continuous dependence follows from the integral equation and Gronwall's lemma.

Proof

We prove (i) and (ii); the matrix clauses are treated at the end. By Basic Facts about Intervals of the Real Line (v), [a,b][a,b] is an interval containing the two distinct points aa and bb; derivatives of maps [a,b]→R[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} are taken relative to [a,b][a,b], as in Derivative of a Real Function on an Interval (i), and integrals of maps [a,b]→R[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} and [a,b]→Rn[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}^{n} are as in The Riemann Integral on a Closed Interval via Lower and Upper Integrals (viii) and Riemann Integral of a Vector-Valued or Matrix-Valued Map (ii). (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^{n},d_{E}) is a metric space by Rn\mathbb{R}^n with the Euclidean Distance Is a Complete Metric Space with Coordinatewise Convergence (i), with dE(u,v)=∥u−v∥d_{E}(u,v)=\lVert u-v\rVert by The Euclidean Distance on Rn\mathbb{R}^n (i). Let FF and LL be as in (i).

Step 1: comparing integrals from aa. Let f,g:[a,b]→Rf,g:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} be continuous on [a,b][a,b] with f(s)≤g(s)f(s)\le g(s) for every s∈[a,b]s\in[a,b], and let t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b]. Then ∫atf\int_{a}^{t}f and ∫atg\int_{a}^{t}g are defined, by Rules for Oriented Riemann Integrals of Real-Valued Maps: Sums, Scalar Multiples, Constants, Continuous Maps, Additivity and Evaluation by an Antiderivative (iv), and ∫atf≤∫atg\int_{a}^{t}f\le\int_{a}^{t}g. Indeed, if t=at=a, both integrals are 00 by The Riemann Integral on a Closed Interval via Lower and Upper Integrals (vii). If a<ta<t, then ff and gg are integrable on [a,t][a,t] by A Continuous Function on a Closed Interval is Riemann Integrable (ii), that is, by The Riemann Integral on a Closed Interval via Lower and Upper Integrals (vi), the restrictions f∣[a,t]f|_{[a,t]} and g∣[a,t]g|_{[a,t]} are bounded and integrable on [a,t][a,t], with integrals ∫atf\int_{a}^{t}f and ∫atg\int_{a}^{t}g; as f∣[a,t](s)≤g∣[a,t](s)f|_{[a,t]}(s)\le g|_{[a,t]}(s) for s∈[a,t]s\in[a,t], Rules for the Riemann Integral: Sums, Scalar Multiples, Monotonicity, Bounds and Constants (iii), with tt in place of bb and these restrictions in place of ff and gg, gives ∫atf≤∫atg\int_{a}^{t}f\le\int_{a}^{t}g.

Step 2: the integral operator. Let C([a,b],Rn)C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}) be the set of maps [a,b]→Rn[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}^{n} continuous on [a,b][a,b], as in The Space of Continuous Maps on a Closed Interval and Its Weighted Uniform Distance (i) with (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^{n},d_{E}) in place of (Y,dY)(Y,d_{Y}). For z∈C([a,b],Rn)z\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}), let hz:[a,b]→Rnh_{z}:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}^{n} be the map s↦F(s,z(s))s\mapsto F(s,z(s)) (which exists by Maps Formed Pointwise: Constant Maps, Pairs of Values, Maps Applied to Values, and Families of Maps (iii), with the identity map of [a,b][a,b] of Basic Properties of Functions: Equality, Composition, Identity, Inverse and Restriction (iii) and zz for its ff and gg); it is continuous on [a,b][a,b] by Solutions of an Initial Value Problem Are the Continuous Solutions of the Integral Equation (i), with bb in place of cc. By The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and the Mean Value Inequality for Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps (i), with nn in place of qq, hzh_{z} in place of xx and aa in place of cc, the integral ∫athz\int_{a}^{t}h_{z} is defined for every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b] and the map t↦∫athzt\mapsto\int_{a}^{t}h_{z} (which exists by Maps Given by Integrals of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps (i), with [a,b][a,b] for its EE and SS, aa for its cc and hzh_{z} for its xx) is differentiable; by Rules for Derivatives of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps (i), with [a,b][a,b] in place of II, it is continuous at every point of [a,b][a,b] relative to [a,b][a,b], hence continuous on [a,b][a,b] by Continuous Map Between Metric Spaces (ii). For ζ∈Rn\zeta\in\mathbb{R}^{n}, the map Tζ(z):[a,b]→RnT_{\zeta}(z):[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}^{n}, t↦ζ+∫athzt\mapsto\zeta+\int_{a}^{t}h_{z}, the sum of the constant map with value ζ\zeta (Maps Formed Pointwise: Constant Maps, Pairs of Values, Maps Applied to Values, and Families of Maps (i)) and that map (a map by Maps Formed Pointwise: Constant Maps, Pairs of Values, Maps Applied to Values, and Families of Maps (iii), with the addition of Rn=R[n]\mathbb{R}^{n}=\mathbb{R}^{[n]}, a binary operation by Pointwise Operations on Real-Valued Maps Exist and Are Unique (i), for its FF), is therefore continuous on [a,b][a,b] by Continuity of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps: the Componentwise Criterion, Norms and Algebraic Operations (iv) and Continuity of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps: the Componentwise Criterion, Norms and Algebraic Operations (v), so Tζ(z)∈C([a,b],Rn)T_{\zeta}(z)\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}) by The Space of Continuous Maps on a Closed Interval and Its Weighted Uniform Distance (i). This defines the map Tζ:C([a,b],Rn)→C([a,b],Rn)T_{\zeta}:C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n})\to C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}), z↦Tζ(z)z\mapsto T_{\zeta}(z), by Maps and Relations Given by Formulas (i) with C([a,b],Rn)C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}) for its aa and bb. (Here Tζ(z)T_{\zeta}(z) is the set of the pairs (t,y)∈[a,b]×Rn(t,y)\in[a,b]\times\mathbb{R}^{n} for which there are gg and rr with g=hzg=h_{z}, r=∫atgr=\int_{a}^{t}g and y=ζ+ry=\zeta+r; on zz, tt, yy, gg and rr, with FF, ζ\zeta and the addition of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} as further parameters, the condition g=hzg=h_{z} is expressed by the predicative formula μ(g,[a,b],Rn)∧∀s ∀v ∀r′ (((s,v)∈z∧((s,v),r′)∈F)⇒(s,r′)∈g)\mu(g,[a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n})\wedge\forall s\,\forall v\,\forall r'\,\bigl(((s,v)\in z\wedge((s,v),r')\in F)\Rightarrow(s,r')\in g\bigr), with μ\mu as in Predicativity under Renaming of Set Variables by Variables, of Formulas with Ordered Pairs, and of Formulas for Relations, Functions, Maps, Injectivity, Surjectivity and Bijectivity (vii), by Values, Restriction and Equality of a Map, and the Map u↦t(u)u\mapsto t(u) as a Defined Set Symbol (i) and Values, Restriction and Equality of a Map, and the Map u↦t(u)u\mapsto t(u) as a Defined Set Symbol (iv); the condition that ∫atg\int_{a}^{t}g is defined and equals rr by the formula of Maps Given by Integrals of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps (iii), with [a,b][a,b] for its EE, nn for its qq and gg, aa, tt and rr for its xx, uu, vv and yy (the variables renamed as in Predicativity under Renaming of Set Variables by Variables, of Formulas with Ordered Pairs, and of Formulas for Relations, Functions, Maps, Injectivity, Surjectivity and Bijectivity (i)); and y=ζ+ry=\zeta+r by Predicativity under Renaming of Set Variables by Variables, of Formulas with Ordered Pairs, and of Formulas for Relations, Functions, Maps, Injectivity, Surjectivity and Bijectivity (iv); so the set Tζ(z)T_{\zeta}(z) is given by Sets and Maps: Ordinary Notation (iii) from a predicative formula in zz, by Predicativity of Expressions with Abbreviations, and Symbol-Free Forms of the Basic Defined Set Symbols (i), the guard on zz being z∈C([a,b],Rn)z\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}).) By Solutions of an Initial Value Problem Are the Continuous Solutions of the Integral Equation (ii), with bb in place of cc, a map z:[a,b]→Rnz:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}^{n} is a solution of the initial value problem with right-hand side FF and initial value ζ\zeta if and only if z∈C([a,b],Rn)z\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}) and z(t)=Tζ(z)(t)z(t)=T_{\zeta}(z)(t) for every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b], that is, Tζ(z)=zT_{\zeta}(z)=z.

Step 3: the difference estimate. Let z1,z2∈C([a,b],Rn)z_{1},z_{2}\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}), let ζ1,ζ2∈Rn\zeta_{1},\zeta_{2}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}, and let m:[a,b]→Rm:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} be the map s↦∥z1(s)−z2(s)∥s\mapsto\lVert z_{1}(s)-z_{2}(s)\rVert (which exists by Maps Formed Pointwise: Constant Maps, Pairs of Values, Maps Applied to Values, and Families of Maps (iii), with z1z_{1} and z2z_{2} for its ff and gg and the map (u,v)↦∥u−v∥(u,v)\mapsto\lVert u-v\rVert of The Summation Map on Real-Valued Maps over a Finite Set, and the Dot Product, Euclidean Norm and Euclidean Distance as Maps (iv) for its FF). We show that mm is continuous on [a,b][a,b] and that, for every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b], the integral ∫atm\int_{a}^{t}m is defined and

∥Tζ1(z1)(t)−Tζ2(z2)(t)−(ζ1−ζ2)∥≤L∫atm.\bigl\lVert T_{\zeta_{1}}(z_{1})(t)-T_{\zeta_{2}}(z_{2})(t)-(\zeta_{1}-\zeta_{2})\bigr\rVert\le L\int_{a}^{t}m .

The constant map [a,b]→R[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} with value −1-1 is continuous at every point of [a,b][a,b] relative to [a,b][a,b] by Continuity of Sums and Products of Real-Valued Functions on a Metric Space (i), with (R,dR)(\mathbb{R},d_{\mathbb{R}}) and [a,b][a,b] in place of (X,d)(X,d) and AA, hence continuous on [a,b][a,b] by Continuous Map Between Metric Spaces (ii). Therefore the maps s↦z1(s)−z2(s)=z1(s)+(−1)z2(s)s\mapsto z_{1}(s)-z_{2}(s)=z_{1}(s)+(-1)z_{2}(s) and g:[a,b]→Rng:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}^{n}, s↦hz1(s)−hz2(s)=hz1(s)+(−1)hz2(s)s\mapsto h_{z_{1}}(s)-h_{z_{2}}(s)=h_{z_{1}}(s)+(-1)h_{z_{2}}(s), are continuous on [a,b][a,b] by Continuity of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps: the Componentwise Criterion, Norms and Algebraic Operations (iv) and Continuity of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps: the Componentwise Criterion, Norms and Algebraic Operations (v), and so are mm and s↦∥g(s)∥s\mapsto\lVert g(s)\rVert (the composite of gg with the map u↦∥u∥u\mapsto\lVert u\rVert of The Summation Map on Real-Valued Maps over a Finite Set, and the Dot Product, Euclidean Norm and Euclidean Distance as Maps (iii), by Maps Formed Pointwise: Constant Maps, Pairs of Values, Maps Applied to Values, and Families of Maps (iii)), by Continuity of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps: the Componentwise Criterion, Norms and Algebraic Operations (iii) and Continuity of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps: the Componentwise Criterion, Norms and Algebraic Operations (v). Let t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b]. By Rules for the Riemann Integral of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps (iii) and Rules for the Riemann Integral of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps (ii), with [a,b][a,b] in place of II and aa and tt in place of uu and vv, ∫atg\int_{a}^{t}g is defined and equals ∫athz1−∫athz2\int_{a}^{t}h_{z_{1}}-\int_{a}^{t}h_{z_{2}}, which is Tζ1(z1)(t)−Tζ2(z2)(t)−(ζ1−ζ2)T_{\zeta_{1}}(z_{1})(t)-T_{\zeta_{2}}(z_{2})(t)-(\zeta_{1}-\zeta_{2}). By Rules for the Riemann Integral of Vector- and Matrix-Valued Maps (viii), with a≤ta\le t, the integral ∫at∥g(s)∥ ds\int_{a}^{t}\lVert g(s)\rVert\,ds is defined and ∥∫atg∥≤∫at∥g(s)∥ ds\bigl\lVert\int_{a}^{t}g\bigr\rVert\le\int_{a}^{t}\lVert g(s)\rVert\,ds. By the Lipschitz condition of (i), ∥g(s)∥≤L m(s)\lVert g(s)\rVert\le L\,m(s) for every s∈[a,b]s\in[a,b], and the map LmLm is continuous on [a,b][a,b] by Continuity of Sums and Products of Real-Valued Functions on a Metric Space (iv) and Continuity of Sums and Products of Real-Valued Functions on a Metric Space (v); so Step 1 gives ∫at∥g(s)∥ ds≤∫atLm\int_{a}^{t}\lVert g(s)\rVert\,ds\le\int_{a}^{t}Lm. Finally ∫atm\int_{a}^{t}m is defined by Rules for Oriented Riemann Integrals of Real-Valued Maps: Sums, Scalar Multiples, Constants, Continuous Maps, Additivity and Evaluation by an Antiderivative (iv), and ∫atLm=L∫atm\int_{a}^{t}Lm=L\int_{a}^{t}m by Rules for Oriented Riemann Integrals of Real-Valued Maps: Sums, Scalar Multiples, Constants, Continuous Maps, Additivity and Evaluation by an Antiderivative (ii). Combining these gives the estimate.

Step 4: the weight. Let θ:[a,b]→R\theta:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} be the map t↦2L(t−a)=(2L)t+(−2La)t\mapsto2L(t-a)=(2L)t+(-2La) (the map (2L) id[a,b]+k(2L)\,\mathrm{id}_{[a,b]}+k, with the identity map of Basic Properties of Functions: Equality, Composition, Identity, Inverse and Restriction (iii), read as a map into R\mathbb{R}, as its range lies in [a,b]⊆R[a,b]\subseteq\mathbb{R} (Functions, Values of a Function, and Functions from One Class to Another (iii)), the constant map kk with value −2La-2La of Pointwise Operations on Real-Valued Maps (ii), and the scalar multiple and sum of Pointwise Operations on Real-Valued Maps (i)). By Derivatives of Constants, the Identity, Sums, Scalar Multiples, Products, Reciprocals, Quotients and Powers (ii), Derivatives of Constants, the Identity, Sums, Scalar Multiples, Products, Reciprocals, Quotients and Powers (v), Derivatives of Constants, the Identity, Sums, Scalar Multiples, Products, Reciprocals, Quotients and Powers (i) and Derivatives of Constants, the Identity, Sums, Scalar Multiples, Products, Reciprocals, Quotients and Powers (iv), θ\theta is differentiable at every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b] with θ′(t)=2L\theta'(t)=2L. By Basic Facts about Intervals of the Real Line (i), R\mathbb{R} is an interval containing two distinct points, and by Basic Properties of the Exponential Function (vii), with R\mathbb{R} in place of II, exp⁡\exp is differentiable at every r∈Rr\in\mathbb{R} with derivative exp⁡(r)\exp(r) (that clause is about exp⁡∣R\exp|_{\mathbb{R}}, which is exp⁡\exp by Values, Restriction and Equality of a Map, and the Map u↦t(u)u\mapsto t(u) as a Defined Set Symbol (iii)). By Chain Rule for Real Functions on Intervals (i), with [a,b][a,b] and R\mathbb{R} in place of II and JJ, θ\theta in place of ff and exp⁡\exp in place of gg, the map φ=exp⁡∘θ:[a,b]→R\varphi=\exp\circ\theta:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}, φ(t)=exp⁡(2L(t−a))\varphi(t)=\exp\bigl(2L(t-a)\bigr), is differentiable at every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b] with φ′(t)=2L φ(t)\varphi'(t)=2L\,\varphi(t). By The Increment Form of the Derivative, and Differentiability Implies Continuity (ii) and Continuous Map Between Metric Spaces (ii), φ\varphi is continuous on [a,b][a,b]; φ(t)>0\varphi(t)>0 for every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b] by Basic Properties of the Exponential Function (iii), and φ(a)=exp⁡(0)=1\varphi(a)=\exp(0)=1 by Basic Properties of the Exponential Function (i). Let w=1/φ:[a,b]→Rw=1/\varphi:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}; it is continuous on [a,b][a,b] by Continuity of Identity Maps, Compositions and Reciprocals (iii), w(t)>0w(t)>0 and w(t)φ(t)=1w(t)\varphi(t)=1 for every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b].

For δ∈R\delta\in\mathbb{R}, let ψδ=δ2φ:[a,b]→R\psi_{\delta}=\tfrac{\delta}{2}\varphi:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}, the scalar multiple of Pointwise Operations on Real-Valued Maps (i). By Derivatives of Constants, the Identity, Sums, Scalar Multiples, Products, Reciprocals, Quotients and Powers (v), ψδ\psi_{\delta} is differentiable at every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b], hence differentiable on [a,b][a,b], with ψδ′(t)=Lδ φ(t)\psi_{\delta}'(t)=L\delta\,\varphi(t); its derivative ψδ′\psi_{\delta}' (Derivative of a Real Function on an Interval (iv)) is the map Lδ φL\delta\,\varphi, continuous on [a,b][a,b] by Continuity of Sums and Products of Real-Valued Functions on a Metric Space (iv) and Continuity of Sums and Products of Real-Valued Functions on a Metric Space (v). Hence, for t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b], ∫atψδ′\int_{a}^{t}\psi_{\delta}' is defined by Rules for Oriented Riemann Integrals of Real-Valued Maps: Sums, Scalar Multiples, Constants, Continuous Maps, Additivity and Evaluation by an Antiderivative (iv), and by Rules for Oriented Riemann Integrals of Real-Valued Maps: Sums, Scalar Multiples, Constants, Continuous Maps, Additivity and Evaluation by an Antiderivative (vi)

∫atψδ′=ψδ(t)−ψδ(a)=δ2(φ(t)−1).\int_{a}^{t}\psi_{\delta}'=\psi_{\delta}(t)-\psi_{\delta}(a)=\tfrac{\delta}{2}\bigl(\varphi(t)-1\bigr).

Step 5: proof of (i). Let ξ∈Rn\xi\in\mathbb{R}^{n}, and let C=C([a,b],Rn)\mathcal{C}=C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}) carry the weighted uniform distance dwd_{w} of The Space of Continuous Maps on a Closed Interval and Its Weighted Uniform Distance (ii), with (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^{n},d_{E}) in place of (Y,dY)(Y,d_{Y}) and the weight ww of Step 4. By The Weighted Uniform Distance Is a Metric, and Is Complete When the Target Is Complete (i), (C,dw)(\mathcal{C},d_{w}) is a metric space; it is nonempty by The Weighted Uniform Distance Is a Metric, and Is Complete When the Target Is Complete (ii), as 0∈Rn0\in\mathbb{R}^{n}; and it is complete by The Weighted Uniform Distance Is a Metric, and Is Complete When the Target Is Complete (iii), as (Rn,dE)(\mathbb{R}^{n},d_{E}) is complete by Rn\mathbb{R}^n with the Euclidean Distance Is a Complete Metric Space with Coordinatewise Convergence (iv). Let T=Tξ:C→CT=T_{\xi}:\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{C} be the map of Step 2.

TT is a contraction with constant 12\tfrac12. Let x,y∈Cx,y\in\mathcal{C} and δ=dw(x,y)\delta=d_{w}(x,y), and let m:[a,b]→Rm:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}, s↦∥x(s)−y(s)∥s\mapsto\lVert x(s)-y(s)\rVert, be the map of Step 3 for z1=xz_{1}=x and z2=yz_{2}=y. By The Space of Continuous Maps on a Closed Interval and Its Weighted Uniform Distance (iii), w(s) m(s)≤δw(s)\,m(s)\le\delta for every s∈[a,b]s\in[a,b]; multiplying by φ(s)>0\varphi(s)>0 and using w(s)φ(s)=1w(s)\varphi(s)=1 gives m(s)≤δ φ(s)m(s)\le\delta\,\varphi(s), hence, as L≥0L\ge0, L m(s)≤Lδ φ(s)=ψδ′(s)L\,m(s)\le L\delta\,\varphi(s)=\psi_{\delta}'(s). Moreover δ≥w(a) m(a)≥0\delta\ge w(a)\,m(a)\ge0, by The Space of Continuous Maps on a Closed Interval and Its Weighted Uniform Distance (iii) and Properties of the Euclidean Norm on Rn\mathbb{R}^n: Square, Distance, Vanishing, Coordinate Bounds, Homogeneity, Triangle Inequalities and Expansion of a Square (i). Let t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b]. By Step 3 with ζ1=ζ2=ξ\zeta_{1}=\zeta_{2}=\xi, by Rules for Oriented Riemann Integrals of Real-Valued Maps: Sums, Scalar Multiples, Constants, Continuous Maps, Additivity and Evaluation by an Antiderivative (ii), by Step 1 applied to LmLm and ψδ′\psi_{\delta}', and by Step 4,

∥T(x)(t)−T(y)(t)∥≤L∫atm=∫atLm≤∫atψδ′=δ2(φ(t)−1)≤δ2 φ(t),\lVert T(x)(t)-T(y)(t)\rVert\le L\int_{a}^{t}m=\int_{a}^{t}Lm\le\int_{a}^{t}\psi_{\delta}'=\tfrac{\delta}{2}\bigl(\varphi(t)-1\bigr)\le\tfrac{\delta}{2}\,\varphi(t),

the last step because δ≥0\delta\ge0. Multiplying by w(t)>0w(t)>0 gives w(t) dE(T(x)(t),T(y)(t))≤δ2w(t)\,d_{E}\bigl(T(x)(t),T(y)(t)\bigr)\le\tfrac{\delta}{2}. By The Space of Continuous Maps on a Closed Interval and Its Weighted Uniform Distance (iii), applied to T(x)T(x) and T(y)T(y), there is t0∈[a,b]t_{0}\in[a,b] with dw(T(x),T(y))=w(t0) dE(T(x)(t0),T(y)(t0))d_{w}(T(x),T(y))=w(t_{0})\,d_{E}\bigl(T(x)(t_{0}),T(y)(t_{0})\bigr), so dw(T(x),T(y))≤12 dw(x,y)d_{w}(T(x),T(y))\le\tfrac12\,d_{w}(x,y). Since 0≤12<10\le\tfrac12<1, TT is a contraction by Contraction of a Metric Space (i).

Existence and uniqueness. By Contraction Mapping Theorem on a Nonempty Complete Metric Space (i), applied to (C,dw)(\mathcal{C},d_{w}) and TT, there is exactly one x∈Cx\in\mathcal{C} with T(x)=xT(x)=x. By Step 2, with ξ\xi in place of ζ\zeta, xx is a solution of the initial value problem with right-hand side FF and initial value ξ\xi; and every solution zz of it lies in C\mathcal{C} and satisfies T(z)=zT(z)=z, so z=xz=x. This proves (i).

Step 6: proof of (ii). Let ξ,η∈Rn\xi,\eta\in\mathbb{R}^{n}, and let xx and yy be the solutions with initial values ξ\xi and η\eta, which exist and are unique by (i). By Step 2, x,y∈C([a,b],Rn)x,y\in C([a,b],\mathbb{R}^{n}), Tξ(x)=xT_{\xi}(x)=x and Tη(y)=yT_{\eta}(y)=y. Let m:[a,b]→Rm:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}, s↦∥x(s)−y(s)∥s\mapsto\lVert x(s)-y(s)\rVert, be the map of Step 3 for z1=xz_{1}=x, z2=yz_{2}=y, ζ1=ξ\zeta_{1}=\xi and ζ2=η\zeta_{2}=\eta; it is continuous on [a,b][a,b]. For t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b], writing x(t)−y(t)=(ξ−η)+(x(t)−y(t)−(ξ−η))x(t)-y(t)=(\xi-\eta)+\bigl(x(t)-y(t)-(\xi-\eta)\bigr), Properties of the Euclidean Norm on Rn\mathbb{R}^n: Square, Distance, Vanishing, Coordinate Bounds, Homogeneity, Triangle Inequalities and Expansion of a Square (vi) and Step 3 give

m(t)≤∥ξ−η∥+∥Tξ(x)(t)−Tη(y)(t)−(ξ−η)∥≤∥ξ−η∥+L∫atm.m(t)\le\lVert\xi-\eta\rVert+\bigl\lVert T_{\xi}(x)(t)-T_{\eta}(y)(t)-(\xi-\eta)\bigr\rVert\le\lVert\xi-\eta\rVert+L\int_{a}^{t}m .
