We consider a Cauchy problem $$y^{\prime }\left(x\right)+y^2\left(x\right)=q\left(x\right),{\left.y\left(x\right)\right|}_{x=x_0}=y_0$$ where $x_0$ , $y_0\in \mathbb{R}$ and $q\left(x\right)\in L_1^{\text{loc}}\left(R\right)$ is a non-negative function satisfying the condition: $${\int }_{-\mathrm{\infty }}^{x}q\left(t\right)dt>0,{\int }_x^{\mathrm{\infty }}q\left(t\right)dt>0\text{ for }x\in \mathbb{R}.$$ We obtain the conditions under which $y\left(x\right)$ can be continued to all of $\mathbb{R}$. This depends on $x_0$ , $y_0$ and the properties of $q\left(x\right)$.

Using a construction similar to an iterated function system, but with functions changing at each step of iteration, we provide a natural example of a continuous one-parameter family of holomorphic functions of infinitely many variables. This family is parametrized by the compact space of positive integer sequences of prescribed growth and hence it can also be viewed as a parametric description of a trivial analytic multifunction.

In this paper a new class of multi-valued mappings (multi-morphisms) is defined as a version of a strongly admissible mapping, and its properties and applications are presented.
