ODE - proof concept

42 Views Asked by At

i need to show that doesn't exist f: R->R C1 class, such that:

$\psi(t) = \cos(t), t \in \mathbb{R}$ is solution of:

$\frac{dx}{dt} = f(x) \;\;\;\; (1) $

My attempt:

Suppose that exists $f:R\rightarrow R$, C1 class ; $\psi(t) = \cos(t)$ is solution of (1) that is:

$\frac{d\psi}{dt} = f(\psi(t)) $.

but note that: $\frac{d^2\psi}{dt} = \psi(t) = f'(\psi(t))*\psi\;'(t)$

so we got:

$\psi\;'(t) = \frac{\psi(t)}{f'(\psi\;(t))} \; ; f'(\psi\;(t)) \neq 0\; \forall t \in \mathbb{R}$

then $f$ is monotonically increasing or decreasing.

so here i'd like to find some contradiction but i can't. Perharps i took the wrong way.

Thanks
