If $x$ is a solution to the equation $dot y = f(y) quad f in C^infty (mathbb{R}^d)$, and $x(0) = x(T)$ for...












2














In the book of The Elements of Mechanics by Gallovotti, at page 16, it is asked that




If $x$ is a solution to the equation $dot y = f(y) quad f in
C^infty (mathbb{R}^d)$
, and $x(0) = x(T)$ for some T, prove that
$x(t) = x(t+T)$. Would this also be true if $f in C^1(mathbb{R}) ?$ [Hint: Use uniqueness.]




However, we do know that



$$x(t) = x(0) + int_{tau = 0}^{tau=t} f(x(tau)),$$



and if we looked at the difference
$$x(t+T) - x(t) = int_{tau=t}^{tau=t+T} f(x(tau)),$$



I cannot see any reason why this integral should be zero.

          Set



          $z(t) = x(t + T); tag 1$



          then



          $z(0) = x(0 + T) = x(T) = x(0); tag 2$



          also



          $dot z(t) = dot x(t + T) = f(x(t + T)) = f(z(t)); tag{2.5}$



          now since



          $f(y) in C^infty(Bbb R^n) tag 3$



          is differentiable, it follows that $f(y)$ is locally Lipschitz continuous at each point $y_0 in Bbb R^n$; and from this it further follows, via the Picard-Lindeloef theorem, that through any $y_0 in Bbb R^n$ there is precisely one solution to



          $dot y = f(y), ; y(0) = y_0; tag 4$



          therefore, in light of (2), which says that both $x(t)$ and $z(t)$ satisfy



          $x(0) = z(0) = y_0 tag 5$



          for some $y_0$, we conclude that



          $x(t) = z(t) = x(t + T). tag 6$



          Since $f(y) in C^1(Bbb R^n)$ is sufficient for $f(y)$ Lipschitz, the result holds in this case as well.

            Let $y_1(t) = x(t)$ and $y_2(t) = x(t+T)$. Then both $y_1$ and $y_2$ satisfy
            begin{align}
            y' = f(y)
            end{align}

            with the same initial condition. Hence by uniqueness we are done.

              Set



              $z(t) = x(t + T); tag 1$



              then



              $z(0) = x(0 + T) = x(T) = x(0); tag 2$



              also



              $dot z(t) = dot x(t + T) = f(x(t + T)) = f(z(t)); tag{2.5}$



              now since



              $f(y) in C^infty(Bbb R^n) tag 3$



              is differentiable, it follows that $f(y)$ is locally Lipschitz continuous at each point $y_0 in Bbb R^n$; and from this it further follows, via the Picard-Lindeloef theorem, that through any $y_0 in Bbb R^n$ there is precisely one solution to



              $dot y = f(y), ; y(0) = y_0; tag 4$



              therefore, in light of (2), which says that both $x(t)$ and $z(t)$ satisfy



              $x(0) = z(0) = y_0 tag 5$



              for some $y_0$, we conclude that



              $x(t) = z(t) = x(t + T). tag 6$



              Since $f(y) in C^1(Bbb R^n)$ is sufficient for $f(y)$ Lipschitz, the result holds in this case as well.
