Uniqueness Theorems for Ordinary Differential Equations with Hölder Continuity

Abstract

We study ordinary differential equations of the type $u^{(n)}(t)=f(u(t))$ with initial conditions $u(0) = u'(0) =... = u^{(m-1)}(0) = 0 $ and $u^{(m)}(0) \neq 0$ where $m \geq n$, no additional assumption is made on $f$. We establish some uniqueness results and show that $f$ is always Hölder continuous.
