State and prove the Arzela-Ascoli theorem.
Let N be a positive integer. Consider the subset SN⊂C([0,1]) consisting of all thrice differentiable solutions to the differential equation
f′′=f+(f′)2 with ∣f(0)∣⩽N,∣f(1)∣⩽N,∣f′(0)∣⩽N,∣f′(1)∣⩽N.
Show that this set is totally bounded as a subset of C([0,1]).
[It may be helpful to consider interior maxima.]
