Abstract

We prove a fixed point theorem that combines the contraction mapping principle and some Knaster-Tarski-like theorem. As a consequence we obtain an existence theorem to initial value problem for ordinary differential equation with discontinuous vector field. This theorem generalizes Carath\'eodory's existence theorem.
