Work with the L1 norm on ${\mathbb{R}}^2$. The scalar Lipschitz hypothesis impliesWe may take $L\ge 0$. The compact set $S$ and continuity give a finite bound $M={\max }_S\Vert \mathbf{f}{\Vert }_1$. ChooseLet $I=[a-\eta ,a+\eta ]$. The space $C_{\eta }$ of continuous maps $I\to B_k(\mathbf{b})$ is complete in the supremum norm: it is a closed subset of the Banach space $C(I,{\mathbb{R}}^2)$. Define the Picard operator on a closed ball byFor any $\mathbf{g}\in C_{\eta }$, the integral triangle inequality givesThe integrand is continuous, so the result is continuous and remains in the prescribed closed ball. Thus $\mathcal{P}$ is a self-map of the complete space. Moreover,It is a contraction mapping. The contraction mapping theorem gives a unique fixed point $\mathbf{y}$. By the fundamental theorem of calculus, the fixed-point identity makes $\mathbf{y}$ continuously differentiable and gives ${\mathbf{y}}^{\prime }=\mathbf{f}(x,\mathbf{y})$ and $\mathbf{y}(a)=\mathbf{b}$. Its first component is twice continuously differentiable, because its derivative is the second component.

Conversely, integrating any solution that remains in the ball makes it a fixed point, so it equals $\mathbf{y}$. A solution starting at $\mathbf{b}$ cannot first reach the boundary of this ball during $I$: before such an exit the same estimate gives distance at most $\eta M<k$, contradicting distance $k$ at the first exit. This proves existence and uniqueness on $|x-a|\le \eta$, not merely formal convergence of an iteration. It is the local Picard-Lindelöf theorem construction.

Put ${\epsilon }_n={\sup }_{[-1,1]}|F_n-F|$. Uniform convergence means ${\epsilon }_n\to 0$, and continuity ensures that the functions have Riemann integrals. The integral triangle inequality givesThis proves that uniform convergence preserves integrals on a compact interval.

For the derivative assertion, take $F_n(x)=\sin (n^{2}x)/n$ and $F(x)=0$. These functions are differentiable, with $\sup |F_n|\le 1/n$, so their convergence is uniform. However, $F_n^{\prime }(0)=n$ whereas $F^{\prime }(0)=0$. The derivatives therefore need not converge even at one interior point.

The Laplace-transform formula for a semigroup resolvent is locally uniformly convergent in the half-plane $\mathrm{Re}z>\omega$, so it may be differentiated under the Bochner integral:The resolvent identity gives $R^{\prime }(z)=-R(z{)}^2$ and, by mathematical induction,ThereforeFor real $\lambda >\omega$, the integral triangle inequality and the gamma integral giveConsequentlyThe exponent $-n+1$ printed in the question is a typographical error: already at $n=0$ it contradicts the first-resolvent bound.

With the notation from part (i), the total-variation process of $[M,N]$ isFor the centered bivariate normal distribution $(U,V)$ used there, $c=\mathbb{E}[UV]$. The integral triangle inequality givesIntegrating this pointwise inequality against $dC$ proves $V_t\le {\tilde{V}}_t$ for every $t\ge 0$.
