For and every real ,where was used. The mean value theorem therefore proves Lipschitz continuity in with constant .
Let . The explicit Euler method and the exact-solution identity from part (i) giveUsing the requested local truncation error bound , including at , yieldsIteration and the finite geometric series giveSince and ,Keeping the stronger bound from part (i) improves the same proof to . The requested inequality follows already from the weaker bound.
