The vector field is continuous on the cube. Part (b) gives , and part (c) supplies a uniform Lipschitz constant . In the quantitative Picard-Lindelöf theorem, the independent-variable half-width and the dependent-variable radius are both one, soThereforeThe global derivative bound also makes the cube condition explicit. Along any solution segment starting at the initial point,Thus it cannot leave the dependent-variable ball before . Bounded derivatives give limiting endpoint values, and local existence extends to them because is defined continuously on all space. Uniform Lipschitz continuity ensures that all such local pieces agree on overlaps, proving uniqueness throughout the closed interval.
