Theorem (smooth <strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nce on parameters). Let v(t, x, λ) be a family of vector fields<br />

<strong>de</strong>fined on some <strong>do</strong>main of the exten<strong>de</strong>d phase space D ⊂ R × X <strong>de</strong>pending on a parameter<br />

λ ∈ Λ ⊂ R. If v is of class C k with k ≥ 1, then in some neighborhood of any (t 0 , x 0 , λ 0 ) ∈ D × Λ<br />

the local solutions of<br />

ẋ = v(t, x, λ)<br />

with initial condition x(t 0 ) = x 0 are differentiable (in<strong>de</strong>ed C k ) functions of (t, x, λ).<br />

Proof.<br />

See [BN05]<br />

Warning. Continuous <strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nce <strong>do</strong>es not exclu<strong>de</strong> sensitive <strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nce on both initial conditions<br />

and parameters, even in the linear case! For example, the distance between solutions of<br />

ẋ = µx with different x(0) and/or µ may diverge for large time ...
