Relative perturbation estimates for the finite-dimensional scalar ODE in the Euler packet proposal. These results do not assert the PDE packet lemma.
A compact-interval Volterra absorption estimate with an explicit factor of two and no exponential loss.
Absorbing a Duhamel inequality after division by a positive reference solution. This preserves relative rather than absolute control.
The Wronskian of a homogeneous solution and a forced solution obeys an exact first-order forcing identity.
The integrated forced Wronskian identity.
Variation of constants from two homogeneous solutions whose Wronskian flux is normalized to one. This handles forcing in both state components.
Duhamel's formula in component form, with an explicitly defined fundamental kernel.
Linear combinations of homogeneous scalar solutions are homogeneous.
The ideal fundamental kernel inherits the relative propagator bound in each column.
Passing from Duhamel's formula and relative kernel bounds to a scalar relative integral inequality, with the forcing in both components.
Duhamel's inequality for the exact scalar ODE, measured relative to the zero-slope reference solution. The forcing may occur in both components.
Continuity of the second state component follows from continuity of its nonvanishing flux coefficient and of the flux.
A sufficiently small perturbation grows by at most twice the ideal relative propagator bound. Smallness is an explicit interval inequality.
Quantitative difference from an ideal solution. A perturbation of
size δ = O(e Θ^12) produces the source's O(e Θ^29) relative error.
The explicit Θ^29 relative error bound in the source's normalization.
Its Θ^21 smallness condition follows from the exact Duhamel argument above.
