52 CHAPTER 3. APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS<br />
<strong>The</strong>orem 3.4. Fundamental Inequality. Suppose that f is continuous and Lipshitz<br />
(with constant K) on a set R that includes the point (t 0 , y 0 ). Let h > 0, and<br />
suppose that y (1) , y (2) are admissible ɛ 1 - and ɛ 2 -approximations on |t−t 0 | < h. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
|y (2) (t) − y (1) (t)| ≤ e K|t−t 0| |y (2) (t 0 ) − y (1) (t 0 )| + ɛ 1 + ɛ 2<br />

Proof. Since y (1) and y (2) are ɛ-approximations with ɛ 1 and ɛ 2 respectively, we have<br />

ɛ = ɛ 1 + ɛ 2 (3.79)<br />
p(t) = y (2) (t) − y (1) (t) (3.80)<br />

except for a possible finite number of locations where dp/dt is undefined.<br />
Suppose that (t) ≠ 0, t 0 < t ≤ t 0 + h. <strong>The</strong>n since its sign does not change, p(t) is<br />
either always positive or always negative. Suppose it is positive. <strong>The</strong>n p(t) > 0, and<br />
Multiply the equation by e −Kt and rearrange to give<br />
<strong>The</strong> left hand side is exactly<br />
p ′ (t) ≤ Kp(t) + ɛ (3.84)<br />
e −Kt [ p ′ (t) − Kp(t) ] ≤ ɛe −Kt (3.85)<br />
