Exercise 2, § 1

Functions of a Real Variable, IV, 199

Given two numbers b>0,M>0b > 0, M > 0 and an arbitrary number ε>0\varepsilon > 0, give an example of a scalar differential equation x′=g(x)x' = g(x) such that ∣g(x)∣≤M|g(x)| \leq M for ∣x∣≤b|x| \leq b and which admits an integral x=u(t)x = u(t) continuous on the interval ]−b/M−ε,b/M+ε[] - b/M - \varepsilon, b/M + \varepsilon[, but which does not have a finite limit at the point x=bM+εx = \frac{b}{M} + \varepsilon (define gg so that the integral considered has a continuous derivative on ]−b/M−ε,b/M+ε[] - b/M - \varepsilon, b/M + \varepsilon[, this derivative being equal to the constant MM on ]−b/M,b/M[] - b/M, b/M[).
