Lipschitz condition
Builds on Function
Definition
Let be a subset of , let be a function, and let be a real number. The function satisfies a Lipschitz condition on with constant , or is -Lipschitz on , if Let and . The function is Lipschitz in on with constant if whenever .
Remarks
A -Lipschitz function is uniformly continuous. A differentiable function on a convex set with at each point is -Lipschitz, by the mean value inequality. For example, is -Lipschitz on . The function is continuous but not Lipschitz on any interval that contains . The non-uniqueness example uses a function of this kind. The Picard–Lindelöf theorem needs a Lipschitz condition in .
