Lipschitz condition on nonlinear ODE

Suppose we have the ODE $$x''=-a\sin{x}.$$ Then let $$x'=y$$ and $$y'=-a\sin{x}.$$ So $$\mathbf X = \begin{pmatrix} y \\ -a\sin{x} \end{pmatrix}.$$ Im confused about how to show a Lipschitz ...

does it have unique fixed point?

$p:C[0,1]\rightarrow C[0,1]$ defined by $p(f(x))=\int_{0}^{x} (x-t)f(t)dt$, well, I am getting all constant functions are fixed points, but the answer says that it has unique fixed point. I got ...

Fixed Points of a system of diff.equations

I have $f'_1(t)=-af_1(t)f_2(t)+bf_3(t)$ $f'_2(t)=f_1(t)$ $2f'_3(t)=-f_1(t)$ How is it possible to evaluate fixed points of this system of equations and afterwards the stability of these points. I ...

IVP- Has at most one solution

Suppose $f(t, x)$ is nonincreasing with respect to $x$ for all $t \geq 0$ and $x \in \mathbb{R}$. Prove that the IVP problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} x'(t)=f(t,x) \\ x(t_0)=x_0 \end{array} \right. ...

Fixed point: a consequence of symmetry?

I'm studying a dynamical system with $\mathbf{D}_{3}$ symmetry (the symmetry group of an equilateral triangle), which is given by: $\begin{align*} d\mathbf{x}_{0}/dt &= ...
