Asymptotic integration of singularly perturbed differential algebraic equations with turning points. I (Q2036448)

In this paper, the authors study linear differential-algebraic singularly perturbed systems of the form \[ \varepsilon B(t,\varepsilon)\frac{dx}{dt}=A(t,\varepsilon)x,\quad t\in[0;T], \] where \[ A(t,\varepsilon)=\sum\limits_{k\geq0}\varepsilon^k A_k(t), \quad B(t,\varepsilon)=\sum\limits_{k\geq0}\varepsilon^k B_k(t) \] satisfy that \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] \(A(0,0) = \mathrm{diag}\,\{E_q,J_p\},\) \(B(0,0) = \mathrm{diag}\,\{J_q,E_p\},\) and \(p + q = n,\) where \(E_q\) is the identity matrix of order \(q,\) \(J_q\) is a square matrix of order \(q,\) the elements of the upper superdiagonal of the matrix are equal to \(1,\) the other elements are equal to zero; and the matrices \(E_p\) and \(J_p\) are defined analogously; \item[(ii)] \(\frac{d}{dt}(\mathrm{det}\, A(t,0))\vert_{t=0} \neq 0\) and \(\frac{d}{dt}(\mathrm{det}\, B(t,0))\vert_{t=0} \neq 0.\) \end{itemize} The authors separately construct the asymptotic solutions of the system under consideration (for small \(\varepsilon > 0\)) on two intervals that do not contain turning point (external decomposition) and on a interval containing the turning point (internal decomposition - this is discussed in the second part of the present paper). Then these solutions are joined to construct asymptotic decomposition and to determine the fundamental matrix of the system on the whole interval \([0;T].\) For Part II, see [the authors, Ukr. Math.
