This is an exercise problem given by my TA in my Real Analysis class. However, I am having quite a bit of problem with just understanding the problem. In particular, I am not sure how to show (1) and the motivation for defining such $phi_n(t)$
For (3), I suppose I need to express $phi_n(t)$ as a sequence of real-valued continuous function in order to get the result.
For (4), I thought the function is defined as $phi_n(t)=y_0+int_0^t F(phi_n(s-frac{1}{n}),s)$ already. The question makes me a bit confused.
In summary, I would like to hear anything that can help me understand the question better as well as proceeding with the answers. The textbook I am using is Analysis II by Tao
I have also found a comparable proof where I was only able to understand part of it. Proving Peano's Existence Theorem by approximating with $C^{infty}$ functions using Weierstrass' Theorem.

In a nutshell, the idea of the proof is to approximate a solution of $y'(t)=F(y(t),t)$, $y(0)=y_0$, by functions satisfying $y'(t)=F(y(t-tfrac1n),t)$ (plus the IC). Such functions are just $phi_n$ given by the formula in (1). Now, by the Arzela-Ascoli theorem, the sequence $(phi_n)_{n=1}^{infty}$ has a uniformly convergent subsequence, and the limit is just a solution looked for.

Observe that in the integrand in $(1)$ for $tin[0,tfrac1n]$ you need only to know the values of $phi_n$ on $[-tfrac1n,0]$ (which is $y_0$), for $tin[tfrac1n,tfrac2n]$ you need only to know the values of $phi_n$ on $[0,tfrac1n]$ (which you know already, by the first step), and so on.
