The short answer to the question, how do you know the equation has a solution, is ‘Picard iteration’.
Iteration means to do something over and over.
Picard’s Existence and Uniqueness Theorem is one of the most important theorems in ODE!
Why is Picard’s Theorem so important?

Proof of the Theorem
We will prove the theorem in five steps:
(i) Show that the initial value problem

is equivalent to the integral equation

(ii) Set up a sequence of Picard iteration and show that they are well defined.
(iii) Show that our sequence of Picard iteration converges uniformly.
(iv) Show that the function to which our sequence converges is a solution to the IVP.
(v) Show that this solution is unique.
(i) The initial-value problem
0 0( , ), ( )dy
f t y y t ydt (1)
Specifically, if y(t) satisfies (1), then
is equivalent to the integral equation

Conversely, if y(t) is continuous and satisfies (2),

Moreover, 0 0( ) .y t y
Therefore, y(t) is a solution of (1) if, and only if, it is a continuous solution of (2).
then

(ii) Construction of the approximating sequence
( ).ny tLet us start by guessing a solution 0( )y t of (2).
The simplest possible guess is 0 0( ) .y t y
To check whether 0( )y t is a solution,
01 0 0( ) ( , ( )) .
t

we compute
If 1 0( ) ( ),y t y t then 0( ) ( )y t y t is indeed a solution
of (2). 1( )y t as our next guess.If not, then we try
To check whether 1( )y t is a solution, we compute
02 0 1( ) ( , ( )) .

and so on.
In this manner, we define a sequence of functions

It’s convenient to assume a similar proof will hold for
We prove (4) by induction on n.
Observe first that (4) is obviously true for n=0, since
0 0( ) .y t yNext, we must show that (4) is true for n=j+1 if it is true for n=j.
But this follows immediately, for

f t ydt (1)
If y(t) is a solution of (1) defined on an interval I, we say that z(t) is a continuation or extension of y(t) if z(t) is itself a solution of (1) defined on an interval J which properly contains I and z restricted to I equals y .
A solution is non-continuable or saturated if no such extension exists; i.e., I is the maximal interval on which a solution to (1) exists.
