Consider the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = y^2 + 1$. Which of the following statements is true?

  1. The equation has a unique solution for any initial condition.

  2. The equation has a unique solution for some initial conditions.

  3. The equation has no solutions.

  4. The equation has infinitely many solutions.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The equation is Lipschitz continuous in $y$, so it has a unique solution for any initial condition in a sufficiently small interval. However, the equation is not globally Lipschitz continuous, so it may not have a unique solution for all initial conditions.

Consider the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = y^{1/3}$. Which of the following statements is true?

  1. The equation has a unique solution for any initial condition.

  2. The equation has a unique solution for some initial conditions.

  3. The equation has no solutions.

  4. The equation has infinitely many solutions.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The equation is not Lipschitz continuous in $y$, so it may not have a unique solution for any initial condition. In fact, the equation has no solutions, as can be seen by separation of variables.
