 Osgood uniqueness criterion

If a continuous nondecreasing modulus $\mu$ satisfies this divergence condition, an estimate $|b(t,x)-b(t,y)|\le A(t)\mu (|x-y|)$ with locally integrable $A$ gives uniqueness of characteristic curves. Apply a regularized integral comparison to their separation. For the log-Lipschitz modulus, ${\delta }^{\prime }(t)\le A(t)\delta (1-\log \delta )$ gives $\delta (t)\le \exp (1-(1-\log \delta (0))\exp (-{\int }_0^{t}A))$ while $\delta \le 1$. Zero initial separation stays zero. Unlike the usual linear Gronwall inequality, this criterion allows non-Lipschitz vector fields.
