General solutions depending algebraically on arbitrary constants

A function f meromorphic on the complex plane c is called an α-Yosida function if \( {{f}^{\# }}(z) = O(|z{{|}^{\alpha }})\,as|z| \to \infty ,\alpha \geqslant - 1\;where\,{{f}^{\# }}(z) = |f'(z)|(/1 + |f(z){{|}^{2}}) \) We give a sufficient and necessary condition for a meromorphic function f to be not an α-Yosida function by proving a relationship between α-Yosida functions and normal families. We also give some integral characterizations of α-Yosida functions. Applying our results we know that the meromorphic solutions of some higher order algebraic differential equations are α-Yosida functions. Moreover, some estimates for the order of growth of these meromorphic solutions by studying α-Yosida functions are given.Keywordsα-Yosida functionsmeromorphic solutionsalgebraic differential equations

In this paper we study the numerical factorization of matrix valued functions in order to apply them in the numerical solution of differential algebraic equations with time varying coefficients. The main difficulty is to obtain smoothness of the factors and a numerically accessible form of their derivatives. We show how this can be achieved without numerical differentiation if the derivative of the given matrix valued function is known. These results are then applied in the numerical solution of differential algebraic Riccati equations. For this a numerical algorithm is given and its properties are demonstrated by a numerical example.

The general result of Gol’dberg’s theorem concerning the growth of meromorphic solutions of algebraic differential equations

In this paper, we treat the problem of determining the rate of growth of meromorphic functions on the plane, which are solutions of nth order algebraic differential equations whose coefficients are arbitrary entire functions (i.e., equations of the form, Ω(z,y,dy/dz, • • •, dny/dzn) — 0, where Ω is a polynomial in y, dy/dz, • • •, dny/dzn whose coefficients are arbitrary entire functions of z.)

We consider the asymptotic growth of Hardy-field solutions of algebraic differential equations, e.g. solutions with no oscillatory component, and prove that no ‘sub-term’ occurring in a nested expansion of such can tend to zero more rapidly than a fixed rate depending on the order of the differential equation. We also consider series expansions. An example of the results obtained may be stated as follows.

Hoping to find bounds on the approximation by rational functions of all members of certain classes of power series, it is necessary to restrict to “reasonable” classes of functions. Algebraic functions are one such class. Another class is the set of irrational power series solutions of linear homogeneous differential equations with polynomial coefficients. Tight bounds have been found in both cases. The jump to nonlinear differential equations is another matter. The present paper obtains tight bounds, if one restricts to certain classes of general solutions. The presence of enough algebraically independent parameters permits the desired type of bound. It is to be hoped that the more general case will ultimately be settled; however, other methods will certainly be needed.

We estimate the growth of the spherical derivative for meromorphic solutions of algebraic differential equations of arbitrary order under certain conditions on the growth of the coefficients.

A method is proposed to transform a system of differential algebraic equations (D.A.E.) to a system of ordinary differential equations (O.D.E.) which can be solved relatively easily by standard numerical techniques.Two examples, including a model of an absorption tower, are given to illustrate the utility of the method. The example problems reveal that this easily implemented technique offers significant savings in CPU time compared to the numerical solution of the untransformed D.A.E.s particularly when the algebraic equations are nonlinear.Furthermore, it appears to be faster and/or more reliable than other numerical schemes which have been recently developed for equations of this type.

A theorem is proved that enables one to replace a ${C^n}$ solution of a system of algebraic differential equations by analytic solutions nearby, such that each satisfies its own algebraic differential equation. As an application, we emend a proof of the Shannon-Pour-E1 thesis relating the outputs of analog computers to solutions of algebraic differential equations.

In this paper, we treat first-order algebraic differential equations whose coefficients belong to a certain type of function field.In the particular case where the coefficients are rational functions, our main result states that for any given sector S in the plane, there exists a positive real number N, depending only on the equation and the angle opening of S, such that any solution y(z), which is meromorphic in S and satisfies the condition z~"y -» co as z -> co in S, must be of the form exp J" czm(\ +o(l)) in subsectors, where c and m are constants.(From this, we easily obtain a similar representation for analytic solutions in S, which are not identically zero, and for which zKy -> 0 as z -» oo in S, where the positive real number K again depends only on the equation and the angle opening of S.)
