Matrix differential-algebraic boundary-value problem with pulsed action (Q2313740)

The subject of this paper is the study of an extension of constant coefficients linear matrix-DAEs, including boundary conditions. The second specificity is that the pulsation may contain a discrete set of discontinuities of \(t\mapsto F(t\) \[ AZ'(t)=BZ(t)+F(t). \] The authors prove a result on existence and uniqueness (Theorem 1.). The method is first to reduce the original equations to a classical ordinary DAE (representing the \(m\times n\) matrices as \(mn\) column-vectors. The homogeneous boundary problem is resolved by introduction of a generalized Green operator, upon rank conditions ; then in each interval of continuity of the target \(t\mapsto F(t)\), the authors build a solution of the original problem, when a regularity condition is satisfied (related to the boundary conditions). An example clarifies the approach.
