Let $Phi$ be the flow (defined as in page 6 of this paper) of the ODE
$$begincases
fracddtPhi(x,t) = f(Phi(x,t),t) quad t >0 \
Phi(x,0) = x quad x in mathbbR.
endcases$$




Is it true that if $f$ is monotone in the first variable then $Phi$ is Lipschitz?

          Suppose that $f$ is decreasing in $x$. Let $x(t)$, $y(t)$ be two solutions of the ode. Then
          $$
          dotx-doty= f(x,t)-f(y,t).
          $$



          Multiplying both sides by $x-y$ we deduce



          $$
          (dotx-doty)(x-y) =big(f(x,t)-f(y,t)big)(x-y)leq 0,
          $$

          where the last equality holds because $f$ is decreasing.



          Hence
          $$
          frac12fracddtbig(x-y)^2leq 0.
          $$

          Thus the function $tmapsto big( x(t)-y(t)big)^2 $ is decreasing so
          $$
          big(x(t)-y(t)big)^2leq big( x(0)-y(0)big)^2,;;forall tgeq 0,
          $$

          i.e.,
          $$
          Big(Phi(x_0,t)-Phi(y_0,t)Big)^2leq Big(x_0-y_0Big)^2,;;forall tgeq 0.
          $$

          In other words, for $tgeq 0$, $Phi(x,t)$ is Lipschitz in $x$ with Lipschitz constant $1$ if $f$ is decreasing.

          Suppose that $f$ is decreasing in $x$. Let $x(t)$, $y(t)$ be two solutions of the ode. Then
          $$
          dotx-doty= f(x,t)-f(y,t).
          $$



          Multiplying both sides by $x-y$ we deduce



          $$
          (dotx-doty)(x-y) =big(f(x,t)-f(y,t)big)(x-y)leq 0,
          $$

          where the last equality holds because $f$ is decreasing.



          Hence
          $$
          frac12fracddtbig(x-y)^2leq 0.
          $$

          Thus the function $tmapsto big( x(t)-y(t)big)^2 $ is decreasing so
          $$
          big(x(t)-y(t)big)^2leq big( x(0)-y(0)big)^2,;;forall tgeq 0,
          $$

          i.e.,
          $$
          Big(Phi(x_0,t)-Phi(y_0,t)Big)^2leq Big(x_0-y_0Big)^2,;;forall tgeq 0.
          $$

          In other words, for $tgeq 0$, $Phi(x,t)$ is Lipschitz in $x$ with Lipschitz constant $1$ if $f$ is decreasing.

            In the scalar case all you need for existence and uniqueness is that $f$ is decreasing and the function $mathbbRni xmapsto f(x)-xinmathbbR$ is onto.

            Thank you. What if $f$ is increasing?

          Thank you. How can the argument be made rigorous even when $f$ is not smooth and $Phi$ is not a classical solution but a regular Lagrangian flow?

          The function $f$ coud even be multivalued, and you can work in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space as well This is a special case of the general theory of maximal monotone operators and the associated differential equations. Perhaps the friendliest introduction is Brezis' book Operateurs maximaux monotones et semi-groupes de contractions dans les espaces de Hilbert. The ultimate reference is however V. Barbu's book Nonlinear semigroups and differen tial equations in Banach spaces

          The finite dimensional case is discussed in V. Barbu's recent book Differential Equations Springer 2016, Example 2.4 and Sec. 2.7.
