A numerical method for partial differential algebraic equations based on differential transform method (Q370149)

Summary: We consider linear partial differential algebraic equations (LPDAEs) of the form \(Au_t(t, x) + Bu_{xx}(t, x) + Cu(t, x) = f(t, x)\), which have at least one singular matrix of \(A, B \in \mathbb R^{n \times n}\). We first introduce a uniform differential time index and a differential space index. The initial conditions and boundary conditions of the given system cannot be prescribed for all components of the solution vector \(u\) here. To overcome this, we introduce these indices. Furthermore, a differential transform method is given to solve LPDAEs. We apply this method to a test problem, and the numerical solution of the problem is compared with the analytical solution.
