Set and let . On the first interval, is the known constant , so the integral equation defines . Its endpoint value then defines the constant on the next interval, and induction over the subintervals defines the pair on all of . An integral of the bounded, piecewise constant function is continuous, so every is continuous. In fact,
so the approximations are uniformly Lipschitz continuous.
