ODE theorem about solutions related to improper integral

52 Views Asked by At

On page 17 of the book Ordinary Differential Equations by Wolfgang Walter there is the following theorem pertinent to the initial value problem $$y'=f(x)g(y), y(\xi)=\eta$$

(H) $f(x)$ is continuous in an interval $J_x$; $g(y)$ is continuous in an interval $J_y$; and $\xi\in J_x$, $\eta \in J_y$. Theorem. Let hypothesis (H) from VII hold, let $g(\eta)=0$ and $g(y)\ne 0$ in an interval $\eta < y \le \eta + \alpha$ or $\eta-\alpha \le y <\eta, (\alpha>0)$, and let the improper integral

$$\int\limits_\eta^{\eta +\alpha} \frac{dz}{g(z)} \text{ or } \int\limits_{\eta-\alpha}^{\eta} \frac{dz}{g(z)},$$ respectively, be divergent. Then every solution that starts above or below the line $y=\eta$ remains (strictly) above or below this line (in both directions).

And then the following commentary follows:

It follows from this theorem that a solution $y(x)$ which satisfies $y>\eta$ at one point remains greater than $\eta$ for all $x$ (a corresponding statement holds for $<$). In particular, if $\eta$ is an interior point of $J_y$ and if both integrals diverge, then the initial value problem $y'=f(x)g(y), y(\xi)=\eta$ has only one solution $y(x)\equiv \eta$. This is the case, for example, if $g(y)$ has an isolated zero at the point $\eta$ and satisfies a Lipschitz condition at $\eta$

$$|g(y)-g(\eta)|=|g(y)|\le K|y-\eta|,$$

hence, in particular, if $g'(\eta)$ exists and is different from $0$.

I didn't understand from this theorem why, if a solution starts above (or below) $y\equiv\eta$ and remains above (or below) $y\equiv\eta$, it can't be one of the solutions of the ODE, and only $y\equiv\eta$ is possible? Also, how is the Lipschitz condition relevant here?

I would definitely appreciate if someone could please clarify these.
