We discuss and exploit the Carathéodory theorem on existence and uniqueness of an absolutely continuous solution x: ℐ (⊂ ℝ) → X of a general ODE ẋ ( * ) = ℱ ( t , x ) for the right-hand side ℱ : dom ℱ ( ⊂ ℝ × X) → X taking values in an arbitrary Banach space X, and a related result concerning an extension of x. We propose a definition of solvability of (*) admitting all connected ℐ and unifying the cases “dom ℱ is open” and “dom ℱ = ℐ × Ω for some Ω ⊂ X”. We show how to use the theorems mentioned above to get approximate solutions of a nonlinear parabolic PDE and exact solutions of a linear evolution PDE with distribution data.
