Trying to understand Lipschitz condition and some examples












1














I'm really new with ODE's and I need your help to understand the Lipschitz function and some examples.



First, the theory concepts:




A function $f(t, y)$ is said to satisfy a Lipschitz condition in the variable $y$ on a set $D$ in $R^2$ if there exists a constant $L > 0$ such that $|f(t, y_1)− f(t, y_2)| ≤ L |y_1 − y_2| $ (1),
whenever both points $(t,y_1)$ and $(t, y_2)$ are in $D$. The constant $L$ is called a Lipschitz constant for f.




First example

Let $f(t,y) = t|y|$, in $D=[1,2] times [-3,4]$. Does f satisfy a Lipschitz
condition on D?



Ok the solution is:



$|f(t, y_1)− f(t, y_2)| = bigl|t|y_1| - t|y_2|bigl| ≤ |t| bigl||y_1| − |y_2|bigl| ≤ 2|y_1 − y_2|$



And L = 2.



So my questions:





  • If:



    $ |f(t, y_1)− f(t, y_2)| = |t| bigl||y_1| − |y_2|bigl|$,



    then the "result" should be:



    $|t| bigl||y_1| − |y_2|bigl| ≤ L|y_1 − y_2|$ for the formula in (1), so how you get L and why is the solution L=2? I'm not understanding how to reach that form.



  • I can imagine that $L=2$ is related with the top $[1,2]$ first interval. Do I need to try the $[-3,4]$ values for the $y_1$ and $y_2$ variables respectively?


  • Why do we need to use absolute values in every part of the function?

  • Whenever I face a problem like this, do I need to reach the $|(some Number)||y_1 - y_2|$ form and pick the $someNumber$ as $L$? It will be always possible to do?


Second example



Let $f(t,y) = frac{2y}{1 + y^2}(1+sin(t))$, in $D=[0,1] times Re$. Does f satisfy a Lipschitz condition on D?



Here I have tried to get the (1) form but I couldn't, I have literally no idea and I would need a step by step resolution to understand this. I would appreciate some resources to learn about this theorem...



Thanks in advance, as you can see I am very lost on this.
