GRONWALL-BELLMAN INEQUALITY 759
If we put
it follows from (3) and the fact that v(t) < m(t), the inequality
Now, integrating both sides of (4) f rom 0 to t and substituting the value of
v(t) in (1) we obtain the desired bound in (2).
Another interesting and useful generalization of Lemma 1 is embodied in
the following theorem.
for all t E I.
The proof of this theorem follows by the similar argument as in the proof
of Theorem 1. We omit the details.

Tu < TV for t = tl .
We now state and prove a fairly general nonlinear version of the Gronwall-
Bellman inequality in the following form:
f W>> < W + w(t) h [c(t) + j-1 kb, 4&s 44, TW ds] 3 (5)

and monotone increasing in u and v for each fixed t E I. Then for t E IO

maximal solution of

and so on. Where all the functions in question are real-valued nonnegative and
defined for t, s, Q-E I. Then inequality (5) will reduce to various types of
inequalities.
