Abstract

In [4] W. Li and S.S. Cheng prove a Picard type existence and uniqueness theorem for iterative differential equations of the form y'(x) = f(x,y(h(x)+g(y(x)))). In this article I show some analogue of this result for a larger class of functions f (also discontinuous), in which a unique differentiable solution of considered Cauchy's problem is obtained.

Keywords
