Understanding the Lipschitz condition - y = g(x)

This condition in the form|g(x2)− g(x1)||x2 − x1|

as follows :At each point (a, g(a)), the entire graph of g lies between the lines

y = g(a)−M(x − a) &y = g(a) + M(x − a).

Understanding Lipschitz condition - z = f (x , y)

Let (x , y1) and (x , y2) be any two points in D having thesame abscissa x .

Consider the corresponding points

P1(x , y1, f (x , y1)) & P2(x , y2, f (x , y2))

on the surface z = f (x , y), and let α (0 ≤ α ≤ π/2) denotethe angle that the chord joining P1 and P2 makes with thexy - plane.

Then if the condition

|f (x , y1)− f (x , y2)| ≤ M|y1 − y2|

holds in D, then tanα is bounded in absolute value.

That is, the chord joining P1 and P2 is bounded away frombeing perpendicular to the xy - plane.

Further, this bound is independent of the points (x , y1) and(x , y2) belonging to D.

Lipschitz condition =⇒ Continuity ?

If f satisfies Lipschitz condition with respect to y in D, then foreach fixed x , the resulting function of y is a continuous function ofy , for all (x , y) in D.

Example : Let f (x , y) = y + [x ].

For fixed x ,

f (x , y1)− f (x , y2) = y1 + [x ]− y2 − [x ]

= y1 − y2

That is, |f (x , y1)− f (x , y2)| = |y1 − y2| ≤ 1 · |y1 − y2|But we know that f is discontinuous w.r.t. x for every integralvalue of x .

Note that the condition of Lipschitz continuity implies nothing con-cerning the continuity of f with respect to x .

Existence - Uniqueness Theorem

Let R be a rectangle containing (x0, y0) in the domain D,

f (x , y) be continuous at all points (x , y) inR : |x − x0| < a, |y − y0| < b and

bounded in R, that is, |f (x , y)| ≤ K ∀(x , y) ∈ R.

Then, the IVP y ′ = f (x , y), y(x0) = y0 has at least one solution y(x)

defined for all x in the interval |x − x0| < α, where

α = min

{a,

b

K

}.

In addition to the above conditions, if f satisfies the Lipschitz conditionwith respect to y in R, that is,

|f (x , y1)− f (x , y2)| ≤ M|y1 − y2| ∀(x , y1), (x , y2) in R,

then, the solution y(x) defined at least for all x in the interval |x−x0| < α,with α defined above is unique 1.
