We consider the following O.D.E



beginalign(1);;;begincasesx'(t)=f(x(t)) & tgeq 0,\x(0)=x_0in BbbR^n&endcasesendalign
where beginalignf: BbbR^nto BbbR^nendalign
Assuming that beginalignVert f(x)-f(y) Vertleq kVert x-yVert,;;forall;x,yinBbbR^n.endalign
Assuming that $f(x_0)=0.$ Please, do I prove that $x(t,x_0)=x_0,forall ;tgeq 0,$ where $x(cdot,,x_0)$ is the solution of $(1)$. If there are references, I also would appreciate!

$f$ being Lipschitz means, any solution to an initial value problem is unique (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_value_problem#Existence_and_uniqueness_of_solutions)



Let us define a function $y(t):=x_0$, then $y'(t)=0$, since it is constant. We also have $y(0)=x_0$.
Furthermore $f(y(t))=f(x_0)=0$, hence $y'(t)=0=f(y(t))$. That means $y$ satisfies the differential equation and the initial conditions. Since solutions are unique, we are done, because then $x(t,x_0)=x_0$.
