Actually , it is easy to see that$ f(x)$ is uniformly continuous on $[-1,1]$ , but via it's graph , I am sure that it's Lipschitz but I am unable to prove it . To show for any x in [-1,1] , $$|arcsin(x+c) - arcsin(x)| < K.c$$ where $K >0$ for any $0< c < 2$

    "I am sure that it's Lipschitz but I am disable to prove it" It is odd that you are sure it is and very comforting that you are unable to prove it is... What is the behaviour of $f(x)$ near $x=1$ already? Of course $f(1)=pi/2$, but $f(1-epsilon)$ is roughly... what?

$fracddxmboxarcsin(x)=frac1sqrt1-x^2$ blows up as $x$ gets close to $pm 1$, which means it could not possibly be Lipschitz on $[-1,1]$, as Lipschitz functions must have bounded derivatives whenever they exist. As an analogous example, consider $f(x)=sqrtx$ near $x=0$, which is again not Lipschitz.

    @GonzaloBenavides: A Lipschitz function must have a bounded derivative wherever it exists. This follows straight from definitions: $lim_xrightarrow y left|fracf(x)-f(y)x-yright|leq L$.

Note that for $0<varepsilon<1$, we have



$$beginalign
left|arcsin(1)-arcsin(1-varepsilon)right|&=left|int_1-varepsilon^1 frac1sqrt1-t^2,dtright|\\
&gefrac12int_1-varepsilon^1frac1sqrt1-t,dt\\
&=sqrtvarepsilon
endalign$$



Can you conclude now?
