Introduction

The applications of system of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) occur in many branches of engineering, scientific and real life applications. For example, these equations arise in circuit analysis, electrical networks, computer aided design (CAD), optimal control, real-time simulation of mechanical (multi-body) systems, incompressible fluids dynamics, power system and chemical process simulations. DAEs are a combination of algebraic equations and differential operations, and many mathematical models in different fields are expressed in terms of DAEs. The system of DAEs is a combination of algebraic and differential equations. In the recent years, several algorithms or methods are introduced by various researchers, engineers and scientists to solve the linear/nonlinear system of DAEs and many of them are focused on the numerical solution. 7 , 13 , 14 In the literature, there are many numerical methods available and these are developed using various existing classical methods. For example, in the literature, there are numerical methods with help of Padé approximation method, 4 , 5 there are methods created using implicit Runge-Kutta methods, 36 also there are methods developed using back difference formula (BDF) 3 , 13 , 35 and etc. Many existing methods are working for low indexed problems or functions. However, using these methods, many real life applications can be solved. There are many other algorithms or methods for solving DAEs and also for differential equations available in the literature. 20 34 In this paper, we propose a general numerical method to solve the second-order system of DAEs using Adomian decomposition method (ADM). There are some general approaches methods available in the literature, 18 , 19 , 37 , 38 and these are developed for solving the first order DAEs.

The main aim of this manuscript is to develop a method that gives us quick approximate solutions of a given system of second order DAEs. In order to develop the proposed method, we use a powerful technique, namely ADM, to get the solution of DAEs system. Since 1980, the ADM has been used widely to solve the nonlinear or linear problems in various fields. For example, recently, ADM is widely used as a straightforward powerful tool for solving a large class of nonlinear equations 1 , 2 , 8 12 , 15 such as functional equations, integro-differential equations (IDEs), partial differential equations (PDEs), algebraic equations, differential equations (DEs), differential-delay equations and different kind of equations arise in chemical reactions, physics and biology. We use the ADM to obtain a rapid approximation solution of a given DAEs systems.

This paper is planned as follows: in the next section we recall the ADM to solve the ODEs. The method proposed in this paper for DAEs systems is presented in the following section. Then a number of numerical examples are presented to illustrate the method, followed by concluding remarks.

Adomian Decomposition Method: An Overview

In this section, we recall ADM briefly to solve ODEs. More details about the ADM can be found in. 2 , 9 , 15 , 17 Consider the nonlinear DE of the following type

Ly+Ry+Ny=f, (1)

where L is an non-singular linear operator with the largest-order derivative in the DE, the operator R is the combination of the rest of derivatives in the DE, f is an analytical forcing function and Ny is the nonlinear term.

We can solve (1) for y by applying the inverse operator L1 . Indeed, we have the following solution by solving (1) for Ly and then apply the inverse operator L1 on to both sides,

L1Ly=L1fL1RyL1Nyor (2)
y=g+L1fL1RyL1Ny, (3)

where g is depending on the degree of differential operator and initial conditions. In particular, if Ly=y=dydx and the initial condition y0=c0 , then L1=0xdx and L1Ly=yc0 . In this case g=c0 . If Ly=y=d2ydx2 and the initial condition y0=c0 and y0=c1 , then L1=0x0xdxdx and L1Ly=yc0c1x0 . In this case g=c0+c1x .

To apply the ADM to (3), let y be the solution of (1), and it can be expressed in the form of infinite series as follows,

y=n=0yn, (4)

where the required components of solution yn , n=0,1,2, can be computed using the ADM. The term Ny can be expressed in terms of the Adomian polynomials Nn , see for examples, 10 12 , 36 as

Ny=n=0Nny0y1yn. (5)

Now, choose y0 as

y0=g+L1f, (6)

and rewrite the equation (3) using the equations (4) and (5), we obtain

n=0yn=y0L1Rn=0ynL1n=0Nn. (7)

On comparing the general terms of (7), we obtain the following equation for the ADM

yn=L1Run1L1Nn1,n1. (8)

We have y0 from (6), and using (8) we can generate the components yn for an approximate solution. Further, we can obtain the exact solution of (1) if the series (4) converges. The K -order approximation solution is obtained as

yt=n=0Kyn. (9)

The next section presents a method for DAEs systems using the ADM.

Proposed Method using ADM

Consider a system of second-order DEs as follows

y1=f1,y2=f2,yn=fn, (10)

where yi is the second order derivative of yi respected to the independent variable x , and f1,f2,,fn are n unknown functions.

We can rewrite the system (10), as follows:

Lyi=fi,i=1,2,,n, (11)

where L=D2=d2dx2 is the differential operator, and its inverse operator D1=I=0xdx . Hence L1=I2 is the secon-order inverse operator. Now we define the integral or inverse operator for the anti-derivative as follows

Ifx=0xfξ,

and we have DIf=f , that is DI=1 . The higher-order of integral operator In is defined in the simple way, and each Inf must be continuous. In particular,

I2fx=0x0x1fξdx1.

From replacement lemma, 16 we have the following equation. The replacement lemma helps us to convert the double integral into a single integral as given below,

I2fx=x0xfξ0xξfξ. (12)

Thus, (12) can be expressed in terms of integral operator I as follows

I2fx=xIfIxf,

and in operator notation, we have I2=xIIx . One can easily verify that D2I2=1 and also D2xIIx=1 . We call xIIx , the normal form of the integral operator I2 .

Using the inverse operator on (11), we get

yi=yi0+yi0x+x0xfidx0xxfidx,i=1,2,,n. (13)

Applying ADM, we have the solution of (13) in the series sum,

yi=j=0fi,j, (14)

and the integrand in (13), as the sum of the following series:

fi=j=0Ai,jfi,0fi,1fi,j, (15)

where Ai,jfi,0fi,1fi,j are called Adomian polynomials. 10 12 , 36 Putting (14) and (15) into (13), we get

j=0fi,j=yi0+yi0x+x0xj=0Ai,jfi,0fi,1fi,jdx0xxj=0Ai,jfi,0fi,1fi,jdx, (16)

from (8) we define, for n=0,1, ,

fi,0=yi0+yi0x,fi,n+1=x0xAi,nfi,0fi,1fi,ndx0xxAi,nfi,0fi,1fi,ndx. (17)

Since fi,0 are known, we can use fi,n+1 to generate the approximate solution components.

Numerical Examples

Example 1. Let us consider the following system of second order DAEs with initial conditions to illustrate the proposed method. 39

y1xy2=2y1+y2,y2=ex, (18)

and initial conditions are y10=y20=y20=1,y10=0 . The exact solution of this system is

y1=2+2e2x+22e2xx+3ex,y2=ex.

In order to apply the proposed method, we rewrite the given system (18) as follows

y1=xy2+2y1+y2,
y2=ex.

On simplifying above equations, we have y1=2y1+x+1ex . Following procedure as given in (13) , we get

y1=y10+y10x+x0x2y1+x+1exdx0xx2y1+x+1exdx=1+x0x2y1+x+1exdx0x2xy1+x2+xexdx=1+x0xx+1exdx0xx2+xexdx+2x0xy1dx20xxy1dx.

Use the alternate algorithm to find the Adomian polynomials as given in, 6 , 10 12 the Adomian method is as following:

y1,0=1+x0xx+1exdx0xx2+xexdx=2+xexex,y1,n+1=2x0xy1,ndx20xxy1,ndx.

We have iterations (approximate solutions components) from above equations as follows

y1,0=2+xexex,y1,1=2xex+2x26ex+4x+6,y1,2=16x+4xex+13x4+43x3+6x2+2020ex,y1,3=48x+163x3+8xex+145x6+215x5+x4+20x2+5656ex.

Now we have the approximate solution after three steps

yapx3=j=03f1,j=84+15xex83ex+28x2+68x+43x4+203x3+145x6+115x5.

After nine steps, we have the solution

yapx9=17412+16388x+1023xex17411ex+7684x2+1724324300x13+189100x12+1347351004000x17+110216206000x16+744550x11+199450x10+431890x9+29126x8+1510810300x15+214105x7+70645x6+153815x5+16663x4+16252318072000x18+71723x3+124324300x14.

Graphical assessment of the analytic solution with the approximate solution after three steps is visualized in Figure 1 and the comparison of the exact solution with approximate solution after nine steps is shown in Figure 2 . From these figures, we can observe that the approximate solutions are near to the analytic solution. A greater number of steps gives us a more accurate solution (the graphs are drawn using Maple 16.0).

Numerical results of the exact solution, approximate solution yapx3 after three steps, approximate solution yapx9 after nine steps and absolute error are given in Table 1 . From the numerical values in Table 1 , one can observe that the solution yapx9 is closer to the exact solution y1 . To get more appropriate solution of the given system, we increase the number of iterations.

Example 2. Consider a DAEs system of second order. 39

y12xy3y12y2=0,y2+y22y3=2ex,y3=cosx, (19)

with initial conditions y10=0,y10=y20=y20=1 . The analytical solution of this system is y1=xex,y2=ex+xsinx,y3=cosx . After simplifying the system (19) , we get

y1=y1+2y22xsinx,y2=y2+2ex+2cosx,y3=cosx.

Following the procedure of the proposed method, similar to Example 1, we get

y1=y10+y10x+x0xy1+2y22xsinxdx0xxy1+2y22xsinxdx=x2x0xxsinxdx+20xxsinxdx+x0xy1+2y2dx0xy1+2y2dx,y2=y20+y20x+x0xy2+2ex+2cosxdx0xxy2+2ex+2cosxdx=1+x+2x0xex+cosxdx20xxex+cosxdxx0xy2dx+0xy2dx.

Using the alternate algorithm for computing the Adomian polynomials, we have

y1,0=xx0x2xsinxdx+0x2x2sinxdx=x4+4cosx+2xsinx,y2,0=1+x+2x0xex+cosxdx20xxex+cosxdx=1x+2ex2cosx,y1,n+1=x0xy1,n+y2,ndx0xy1,n+y2,ndx,y2,n+1=x0xy2,ndx+0xy2,ndx.

Now, we can get iterations from above equations as follows

y1,0=x4+4cosx+2xsinx,y2,0=1x+2ex2cosx,y1,1=4x15x3x24cosx2xsinx+4ex,y2,1=4+2x12x2+16x32ex2cosx,y1,2=12+1120x516x4+12cosx+2xsinx+4x2,y2,2=2x2x213x3+124x41120x5+2ex2cosx,

After five steps, we have the solution

y1,apx5=1211x+12ex11008x7110080x81120x67120x513x45x21120960x932x3139916800x1111814400x10,y2,apx5=13+x12cosx+15040x7+18064x81144x6+1120x5+38x492x2+1362880x9+16x3+139916800x1113628800x10.

In Figure 3 and Figure 4 , we show the graphical comparisons of the exact solutions y1x,y2x with the approximate solution after five steps respectively. From the graphs in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , one can observe that the approximate solutions are very close to the exact solution. Higher number of iterations give us more accurate solution (one can use Microsoft Excel to draw the graphs).

In Table 2 and Table 3 , mathematical results of the analytical solution and approximate solutions after five steps y1,apx5,y2,apx5 with absolute errors are given respectively. From these numerical results, one can observe that the approximate solutions y1,apx5 and y2,apx5 are closer to the exact solution y1 and y2 respectively. For more appropriate solution of the given system, we increase the number of iterations.

This paper focused on an efficient and easy method to solve the second-order systems of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). They computed the approximate solutions with the help of a semi-analytical method known as “Adomian decomposition method” (ADM). They claimed that the logic of the proposed method is simple and straightforward to understand. Authors presented few examples to illustrate the method. 

The paper is attractive and planned fine. The key of this paper is to solve the given system of DAEs with the help of ADM to give speedy approximate solution. The design of the work in this paper is constructive and novel. I recommend, this paper can be acceptable.  After review, the authors can include the following comments.

Comments:

This paper solves second order DAEs. Can we apply the same logic for higher order DAEs, if so; put it as NOTE point in the conclusion section. 

Integral operator is fixed with lower-limit as zero or it can be any constant? Give explanation about it.

Is the work clearly and accurately presented and does it cite the current literature?

Yes

If applicable, is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate?

Not applicable

Are all the source data underlying the results available to ensure full reproducibility?

Yes

Is the study design appropriate and is the work technically sound?

Yes

Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the results?

Yes

Are sufficient details of methods and analysis provided to allow replication by others?

Yes

Authors focused on an efficient and easy method for solving the given system of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) of second order. The method includes computing the approximate solutions with rapidly and efficiently with the help of a semi-analytical method known as Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The logic of this method is simple and straightforward to understand. To demonstrate the proposed method, they presented several examples and the computations are compared with the exact solutions to show the efficient. They also claimed that one can employ this logic to different mathematical software tools such as Maple, SCILab, Mathematica, NCAlgebra, Matlab etc. for the problems in real life applications.

General Comments:

The paper is organized in well-order and interesting to the general readers. The main text is to propose a method for DAEs using ADM which produces quick approximate solution which is novel as far as my knowledge. This paper can be accepted.

Minor comments:

  1. In the paper, authors are focused on only second order DAEs. Is this technique applicable for higher order DAEs?

  2. In the integral operator I, authors have taken lower value of the integral zero. What is the reason for fixed lower value zero?  If the lower value is not fixed, say c (constant), that are changes occur in the process?

Is the work clearly and accurately presented and does it cite the current literature?

Yes

If applicable, is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate?

Are all the source data underlying the results available to ensure full reproducibility?

Yes

Is the study design appropriate and is the work technically sound?

Yes

Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the results?

The authors of this paper are very thankful to the reviewer for giving valuable comments on this paper. The response to the minor comments are as follows:

1. In the paper, authors are focused on only second order DAEs. Is this technique applicable for higher order DAEs?

Response: The proposed technique in this paper is applicable to the higher-order DAEs. For the sake of simplicity, we have taken 2-order DAEs.

2. In the integral operator I, authors have taken lower value of the integral zero. What is the reason for a fixed lower value of zero?  If the lower value is not fixed, say c (constant), are changes occur in the process?

Response: The lower value of the integral can be any number. Based on this, we compute integrals in the proposed algorithm. For simplicity, we took the lower value to be zero.
