Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions

Before we discuss the Existence and Uniqueness Theorems, lets consider three
differential equations to illustrate the notion of the domain of a differential equation.
Example 1.

y
2

dy
= y3 + t2
dt

Example 2.

y
2

dy
= y2
dt
1

Note that this differential

equation is autonomous.
