How to show that the three mentioned equations have a unique solution with initial conditions?



Since $k=k(s)$ and $t=t(s)$ are functions not constants so any try for solving them leads to even more complicated system of equations.

  • The $y$ in the theorem can be vector, the wiki book entry for the theorem spell this out explicitly.

  • @achillehui, I understood all thing but one! Let $x(s)=(T_1(s), T_2(s), T_3(s), N_1, ..., B_1, ...)$ and $f(s,x(s))=(k(s)N_1(s), ..., -k(s)T_1+t(s)B_1, ..., -t(s)N_3)$ then $frac{d}{ds}x(s)=f(s,x(s))$ together with existence of $L$ (Lipschitz const) implies that $text{max}_{s in [s_0, s_1]} (k^2(N_1-N'_2)^2+...+(-tN_3+tN'_3)^2) le L^2 text{max}_{s in [s_0, s_1]} (T_1-T'_2)^2+...+(B_3-B'_3)^2)$. But for the smooth functions of $T$, $N$, $B$ in the (differential geo) text (image in OP) how the existence of $L$ is proven/guaranteed? ( ' means y instead of x , not for derivative)
