A recursive approach to the solution of abstract linear equations and the tau method (Q1767892)

This paper deals with a purely algebraic extension of Ortiz' theory on the recursive generation of the canonical polynomials to the general case of linear mappings defined on abstract spaces. Obtained results are also formulated in connection with matrices in row echelon form. The formulation of the Ortiz representation theorems of the tau method makes the recursive construction of the solution possible for an extensive class of linear operator equations, including equations determined by operators of infinite kernel index and deficiency. Several examples from different fields of applications, such as algebraic systems and partial differential equations with bivariate polynomial coefficients, are used to illustrate author's method.
