Grönwall's inequality #

The main technical result of this file is the Grönwall-like inequality norm_le_gronwall_bound_of_norm_deriv_right_le. It states that if f : ℝ → E satisfies ∥f a∥ ≤ δ and ∀ x ∈ [a, b), ∥f' x∥ ≤ K * ∥f x∥ + ε, then for all x ∈ [a, b] we have ∥f x∥ ≤ δ * exp (K * x) + (ε / K) * (exp (K * x) - 1).

Then we use this inequality to prove some estimates on the possible rate of growth of the distance between two approximate or exact solutions of an ordinary differential equation.

The proofs are based on Hubbard and West, Differential Equations: A Dynamical Systems Approach, Sec. 4.5, where norm_le_gronwall_bound_of_norm_deriv_right_le is called “Fundamental Inequality”.

TODO #

• Once we have FTC, prove an inequality for a function satisfying ∥f' x∥ ≤ K x * ∥f x∥ + ε, or more generally liminf_{y→x+0} (f y - f x)/(y - x) ≤ K x * f x + ε with any sign of K x and f x.

If f and g are two approximate solutions of the same ODE, then the distance between them can't grow faster than exponentially. This is a simple corollary of Grönwall's inequality, and some people call this Grönwall's inequality too.

This version assumes all inequalities to be true in some time-dependent set s t, and assumes that the solutions never leave this set.
