Bounding a solution for an ODE












0














Given
$$dot{x}=tcdot sin^2(xt), quad x(0)=0 quad tin[0,1]$$
I need to bound the solution to that ODE.



I know that $lvert dot{x} rvert = lvert f(x,y) rvert le 1$, but how can I continue from here and bound $x$ itself? I don't know how to approach that.

          Your equation tells you that $dot{x}(t)geq 0$ for all $t$, so let's forget about the absolute value. Moreover, since $sin^2leq 1$, we have
          $$dot{x}(t)leq t$$ for all $t$, and integrating we have
          $$int_0^sdot{x}(t)dtleq int_0^stdt Rightarrow x(s)leq {1over 2}s^2,$$ so $1/2$ is a bound, since you are saying $sin [0,1]$.



          Anyway, notice that this procedure can be iterated: since $sin theta<theta$ for positive $theta$, you can conclude that $dot{x}(t)leq {1over 2}t$, which now gives $1/4$ as a bound. Continuing like that, you have what @juliàn was saying: $0$ is actually the only solution.
