On the interval containing the initial point, divide the linear ordinary differential equation by to obtain . Its integrating factor is , givingThe initial condition gives . HenceDirect differentiation gives , so and . The coefficient of vanishes at zero; the boxed expression is the solution on the regular initial-value interval, rather than an assertion of unique continuation through zero.
