We present new proofs to four versions of Peano's Existence Theorem for ordinary differential equations and systems. We hope to have gained readability with respect to other usual proofs. We also intend to highlight some ideas due to Peano which are still being used today but in specialized contexts: it appears that the lower and upper solutions method has one of its oldest roots in Peano's paper of 1886.

On the existence and uniqueness of solutions to dynamic equations
In this paper, we prove the well-known Cauchy–Peano theorem for existence of solutions to dynamic equations on time scales. Some simple examples are given to show that there may exist more than a
Peano’s 1886 existence theorem on first-order scalar differential equations: a review

In 1886 Giuseppe Peano presents the first proof of the existence of a solution of an initial value problem $$y^\prime =f(x,y)$$y′=f(x,y), $$y(a)=b$$y(a)=b, under the assumption of the continuity of

An “elementary” proof of Peano's existence theorem is given that, in addition to avoiding the Ascoli lemma, relies neither on Dini's theorem, nor on uniform continuity of the right hand side of φ' =
Necessary conditions for solving initial value problems with infima of superfunctions
Goodman proved that the pointwise infimum of all superfunctions is the minimal absolutely continuous solution of x′ = f (t, x), t ∈ [0, 1], x(0) = 0, in case f is a L1 -bounded Caratheodory function.
