We study the properties of periodic solutions of a class of periodically perturbed Differential-Algebraic Equations with separated variables. Under suitable hypotheses, these equations are equivalent to separated variables ODEs on a manifold. By combining known results on Differential-Algebraic Equations, with an argument about ODEs on manifolds, we obtain a global continuation result for the T...

We present a finite volume discretization of the nonlinear elliptic problems. The discretization results in a nonlinear algebraic system of equations. A Newton-Krylov algorithm is also presented for solving the system of nonlinear algebraic equations. Numerically solving nonlinear partial differential equations consists of discretizing the nonlinear partial differential equation and then solvin...

We discuss the solution of linear second order differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) with variable coefficients. Since index reduction and order reduction for higher order, higher index differential-algebraic systems do not commute, appropriate index reduction methods for higher order DAEs are required. We present an index reduction method based on derivative arrays that allows to determine a...

The linearized Navier-Stokes equations form a type of system called a differential algebraic equation (DAE). These equations impose both algebraic and differential constraints on the solution, and present significant challenges to solving. This paper discusses a method for solving DAEs by the Schur factorization to avoid some of the obstacles that are typically present. We also investigate the ...

A tool for the order reduction of differential algebraic equations (DAEs) is outlined in this report. Through the use of an equation dependency analysis and nonlinear function approximation, the algebraic equations can be divided into sets that require implicit or explicit solutions. If all of the algebraic variables can be solved or approximated explicitly, the DAE becomes a set of ordinary di...

The DC analysis and transient analysis parts of the general electrical circuit analysis program ESACAP are parallelized to run on the Intel iPSC. Most of the program runs unchanged on the cube manager. Only the solution of the systems of nonlinear algebraic equations is parallelized to run on the hypercube parallel computer. The nonlinear equations arise either from the DC problem or from the d...

in this study, the problem of determining an optimal trajectory of a nonlinear injection into orbit problem with minimum time was investigated. the method was based on orthogonal polynomial approximation. this method consists of reducing the optimal control problem to a system of algebraic equations by expanding the state and control vector as chebyshev or legendre polynomials with undetermined...

We describe a general framework for avoiding spurious eigenvalues — unphysical unstable eigenvalues that often occur in hydrodynamic stability problems. In two example problems, we show that when system stability is analyzed numerically using descriptor notation, spurious eigenvalues are eliminated. Descriptor notation is a generalized eigenvalue formulation for differential-algebraic equations...

In this paper we present a general procedure for solving first-order autonomous algebraic partial differential equations in two independent variables. The method uses proper rational parametrizations of algebraic surfaces and generalizes a similar procedure for first-order autonomous ordinary differential equations. We will demonstrate in examples that, depending on certain steps in the procedu...
