Express the 2nd order ODE
d_t^2 u=(d^2 u)/(dt)^2 =sin?(u)+cos?(Ï?t) Ï? Z/{0}
u(0)=a
d_t u(0)=b
as a system of 1st order ODEs and verify that there exists a global solution by invoking the global existence and uniqueness Theorem.

Useful information:
Global existence and uniqueness Theorem:
The ordinary differential equation
d_t â-u=â-f(t,â-u (t))
â-u (0)=â-u_0
has a unique solution if â-fâ??C^0 (I)Ã-Lipschitz(L_â?? (R)), f is continuous with respect to 1st variable and Lipschitz with respect to 2nd variable.

Lipschitz Continuity: A function g:Iâ?'R is Lipschitz continuous if â??Î?>0 such that
â?-g(â-x)-g(â-y)â?-â?¤Î?â?-â-x-â-yâ?-â??â-x,â-yâ??I.

NB: â- means vector value.

Solution Summary

The solution demonstrates the existence and uniqueness of a given second order ordinary differential equations with given initial conditions.

Solution Preview

To express the 2nd order ODE as a system of 1st order ODEs, we let v = u_t. Then we have

u_t = v
v_t = sin u + cos(omega t)

with the initial conditions

u(0) = a
v(0) = b

These ODEs may be written in vector form as

(1) d_t w = ...
