On Carathéodory’s conditions for the initial value problem. (English) Zbl 0869.34004

Summary: We prove a local existence theorem of Carathéodory-Goodman type for \(\dot x(t)= f(t,x(t))\) where instead of \(f(t,\alpha)\) being continuous in \(\alpha\) we require only that it has no “downward discontinuities”.
