Picard-Lindelöf (Cauchy-Lipschitz) Theorem #
In this file we prove that an ordinary differential equation $\dot x=v(t, x)$ such that $v$ is
Lipschitz continuous in $x$ and continuous in $t$ has a local solution, see
IsPicardLindelof.exists_forall_hasDerivWithinAt_Icc_eq.
As a corollary, we prove that a time-independent locally continuously differentiable ODE has a local solution.
Implementation notes #
In order to split the proof into small lemmas, we introduce a structure PicardLindelof that holds
all assumptions of the main theorem. This structure and lemmas in the PicardLindelof namespace
should be treated as private implementation details. This is not to be confused with the Prop-
valued structure IsPicardLindelof, which holds the long hypotheses of the Picard-Lindelöf
theorem for actual use as part of the public API.
We only prove existence of a solution in this file. For uniqueness see ODE_solution_unique and
related theorems in Mathlib/Analysis/ODE/Gronwall.lean.

Prop structure holding the hypotheses of the Picard-Lindelöf theorem.
The similarly named PicardLindelof structure is part of the internal API for convenience, so as
not to constantly invoke choice, but is not intended for public use.

This structure holds arguments of the Picard-Lipschitz (Cauchy-Lipschitz) theorem. It is part of
the internal API for convenience, so as not to constantly invoke choice. Unless you want to use one
of the auxiliary lemmas, use IsPicardLindelof.exists_forall_hasDerivWithinAt_Icc_eq instead
of using this structure.
The similarly named IsPicardLindelof is a bundled Prop holding the long hypotheses of the
Picard-Lindelöf theorem as named arguments. It is used as part of the public API.

The space of curves $γ \colon [t_{\min}, t_{\max}] \to E$ such that $γ(t₀) = x₀$ and $γ$ is Lipschitz continuous with constant $C$. The map sending $γ$ to $\mathbf Pγ(t)=x₀ + ∫_{t₀}^{t} v(τ, γ(τ))\,dτ$ is a contracting map on this space, and its fixed point is a solution of the ODE $\dot x=v(t, x)$.

Given a curve $γ \colon [t_{\min}, t_{\max}] → E$, PicardLindelof.vComp is the function
$F(t)=v(π t, γ(π t))$, where π is the projection $ℝ → [t_{\min}, t_{\max}]$. The integral of this
