Abstract – Systems of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs) have been widely investigated, during the last twenty years, from a numerical point of view. In this paper, our interest is in the study of formal ("structural") properties of DAE systems: we make the link between the index of a DAE system and general notions coming from the formal theory of PDE s. This interpretation gives new insights for the understanding of DAE s and allows us to give rigorous justification of manipulations that, are of usual practice in this area. Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) arise in a variety of applications. Therefore their analysis and numerical treatment plays an important role in modern mathematics. This paper gives an introduction to the topic of DAEs. Examples of DAEs are considered showing their importance for practical problems. Several well-known index concepts are introduced. In the context of the tractability index existence and uniqueness of solutions for low index linear DAEs is proved. Numerical methods applied to these equations are studied.

INTRODUCTION

The (modern) theory of numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has been developed since the early part of this century – beginning with Adams, Runge and Kutta. At the present time the theory is well understood and the development of software has reached a state where robust methods are available for a large variety of problems. The theory for Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs) has not been studied to the same extent – it appeared from early attempts by Gear and Petzold in the early 1970’es that not only are the problems harder to solve but the theory is also harder to understand. It, is now a well-known fact, that, systems of Differential Algebraic Equations (DAE's) are, in the general case, far more difficult, to solve numerically than systems of ODE's. A lot. of work has been done during the last, twenty years, studying the efficiency and the difficulties of the classical numerical discretization schemes (HDP, Runge-Kutta, General Linear, extrapolation), when applied to DAE's they originated in the early 70 s with the now famous and often cited . One essential result, in this area is the concept, of index, an integer used to characterize the "solvability"' of a DAE. On another hand, it, lias been known for long that dynamical systems "with constraints'" (semi-explicit, systems, a particular case of DAE in the usual sense) may give rise to discontinuous solutions : e.g. studies such systems in the context of bifurcation theory of dynamical systems, that is from a qualitative point, of view. In this last, context, studies numerical methods for bifurcation problems near singular points, mainly path following methods. studies continuation methods too for DAE's and consider these as differential equations on manifolds, for "existence and uniqueness of solutions' purposes, that is from a functional analysis point, of view. With the notion of index at, hand, most, of the works study the problems of convergence for numerical schemes and have attempted to classify them with respect, to the index : only systems of index less than two may be solved easily with standard numerical solvers so that index reduction techniques must, be used in general. Other works study the problem of consistency of initial data for DAE systems which is in fact a closely related one, as we shall see below. Unfortunately, the computation of the index itself seems presently unreachable or at, least, very difficult, in the general case. Some attempts have been made to compute it, in very specific although frequent, cases : semi-explicit, or linear in the derivative. The subject of this Paper is differential-algebraic equations, for which we will from now on utilize the shorthand documentation DAE, The name DAE implies a framework with differential and algebraic equations. Here "algebraic" implies any non-differential equations,

Historical Background of DAEs

frameworks. In the circuit case, the laws of Kirehhoff (the whole of the voltage drops around any shut circle is zero; at any purpose of a circuit, the aggregate of inflowing flows is equivalent to the aggregate of outflowing currents) transform, with the demonstrating of the associations between current and voltage in the circuit components, equations for the momentums. In multibodv frameworks, the differential equations originate from the dynamical laws legislating the movement of figures and the requirement equations hail from the unbending nature of the framework. For instance, in the pendulum case the obligation mathematical statement is the consistent length of the bar. The name "multibodv frameworks" incorporates for instance demeanor control of satellites and space vehicles, development of robots and ground vehicles, e.g. a line wheelset. Instructions to understand differential equations numerically? This has been examined since Euler at eighteenth century, yet since the appearance of machines, the inter¬est to this inquiry has developed massively, enough to turn into a limb of math on its own. In 1960's specialists dealing with electrical circuits or multibodv frameworks understood that understanding a differential comparison with obligations is more included than explaining one without obligations; that is, the compelled case cannot when all is said in done be diminished to the unconstrained case by some standard trap. The main paper which acquainted a path with strike these issues was composed by C, W, Gear in 1971, There likewise the name "differential-algebraic mathematical statement" was presented, A quick improvement of numerical techniques for Daes started with initially of 1980's, Petzold's code DASSL is these days still considerably utilized e.g. in issues of electrical or compound engineering. There are additionally a few thoughts of an alleged list, which is a whole number measuring how troublesome a DAE is to tackle numerically. In expected DAE research the thoughts of distinctive lists in some cases even command the discussion, for instance, the DASSL code ordinarily works dependably just when the (differential) record is at generally one. There are numerous papers proposing suitable numerical plans for frameworks with list two or three, however there are dependably some supplemental necessities for the framework to satisfy. Customarily, when the (differential) file is more than one, the DAE is known as a 'higher index' issue and acknowledged as something that ought to be evaded. There are additionally list lessening procedures, we will examine these in segment, Recent overviews of distinctive ideas of files and relations between them are e.g. We recall in this section some essential facts from the formal theory of differential equations. As we are only interested in ordinary differential systems (and DAF/s more precisely), we shall just, have to specialize the general results to our particular situation. consulted too on certain aspects (prolongation, invariants ...) of ODE's. All the results that we need have been established in this far more general framework. Let. us just point out the main ingredients : jet theory. formal theory of PDES's and (inferential algebraic geometry. The formal theory of PDE's studies the PDF/s and their spaces of solutions without explicit integration, by "simple inspection" of the equations, viewed as defining some submanifold of a convenient manifold (the bundle of q-jets as we shall see). It does not study problems like convergence of solutions which remain then to be studied afterwards. On another side, the index of a DAE is a structural ("formal") property that, comes before any numerical computation and must be. at least, theoretically, reachable by simple inspection of the equations too. Another crucial problem is the one of giving a "consistent" set, of initial conditions for a DAE system : it, can be given an answer with the same approach. The present section is adapted from that we particularize to the case of ODE s/DAE's. For the description of lion linear systems of ODE's or DAEs, it, is convenient, to work with jet, coordinates instead of derivatives. Moreover, it, is the right framework to deal with differential systems, whatever they are ODEs, DAEs or PDE's, from a formal point of view, because it, shows common features of all those systems that could not appear otherwise (ODE's and DAE s are obviously particular cases of PDE's).

Nonlinear systems of DAE's -

When doing local computations on differential systems, two operations are very frequent : differentiation and substitution of derivatives of least, order into subsequent equations obtained through differentiation. In the cont ext, of jet theory, these operations translate into prolongation and projection on a sub manifold, respectively. We give here their definitions after having defined what we mean by a nonlinear system of DAE's and its solutions.

Formal inerrability and the index -

In this section, we make the link between the index of a DAF system and the formal integrate My has given by the formal theory. This will allow us to give intrinsic properties, independent of the local coordinates (as we did above for the formal derivative). The most interesting result is a "dictionary" in which we shall translate results scattered in the classical literature on DA Fs into our framework. We first, introduce, in a loose manner, t he

There has advanced likewise numerous geometrical methodologies to Daes, starting in 1984 by Eheinboldt and proceeding by Reich and Another adaptation is finished by Szatkowski, We will come back to these in no time. Right now we comment that these geometrical methodologies are more inalienable however less helpful than those presented in the past segment. In 1950's Ehresmann presented the idea of a plane space in differential geometry. These were later utilized as a fundamental building piece in building the formal hypothesis of fractional differential equations. The comparison is recognized as a locus in a suitable plane space. Since Daes are an exceptional instance of (nonlinear) Pdes one may feel that the hypothesis developed in [a] is only an unique instance of the formal hypothesis, then again, this is not so: in formal hypothesis everything is dependent upon fibered submanifolds of a plane space, however in our methodology the complex shouldn't be fibered. Additionally, the result is demarcated as a vital complex of an appropriation which is impelled by regular conditions. There is additionally an intriguing provision: impasse focuses. These are examined for instance by Eabier and Eheinboldt in [rr94b, Rr94c]. Their effects are summed up and proofs dramatically streamlined in [tuo97] by utilizing circulations. In any case, in this Paper we won't acknowledge impasse focuses, a fascinated onlooker may counsel the aforementioned papers and references in that. Comment - There is an intriguing idea, enlarged plane space, presented by P. Olver in [01v86], Now we can interprete our answer, as an area in the augmented plane space. Notwithstanding, we don't pick up much from this, since the devices of formal hypothesis likewise require the fibration of the complex. Comment - Additionally [sza92] acknowledges disseminations as we do, however his perspective is truly unique; he acknowledges (dimensional) Banach manifolds and demarcates for them comparative decrease transform as in [rhe84], He additionally notes that the lessening procedure may expedite an endless circle. Comment - There is additionally an intriguing methodology [prvol] dependent upon Taylor arrangement. The paper is identified with our methodology as in [prvol] likewise does not convert it to a first request mathematical statement, yet studies the most astounding subsidiaries to find structure of the framework. Here we note that it is not clear how to outline what is implied by a structure of a DAE, Our paper [d] offers one view focus to this.

As mentioned earlier there exist codes using BDF methods for solving DAEs. Most of these codes are designed for solving index-0 or index-1 DAEs. In [BCP89] some of these codes are described and tested. They have focused on the DASSL-code. DASSL uses BDF-methods with variable step size with orders up till 5. It is reported that the DASSL-code successfully has solved a wide variety of scientific problems, and that there are probabilities of testing out where it went wrong. They report that the finite difference calculation of the Jacobian matrix is the weakest part of the code. It also have problems with handling inconsistent initial conditions and discontinuities. A detailed description of DASSL and a little bit of the code LSODI can be found in [BCP89].

ESSENTIAL METHODS

In this area we give an extremely short depiction of what scientific apparatuses we have utilized. From the numerics of ODEs we take the Eunge-Kutta techniques and adjust it with geometrical thoughts. The hypothesis of being and uniqueness of an answer is the one dimensional form of the Frobenius hypothesis, well known in differential geometry. From commutative polynomial math we utilize the concept of goals, particularly their prime decay. This deterioration has a correspondence in assortments, yet thus the mixed bags have extra structure. The fundamental plans (or, lines of considered) originate from the formaltheory of DEs, The principle thoughts (e.g. involutivitv, prolongation and surjeetivitv of the projection ) are geometrical, subsequently innate. On the other hand, when we have to register something, we require polynomial math. Notwithstanding, it is not dependably clear what algebraic ideas (if any) compare to the geometrical notions. Case in point if there should arise an occurrence of involutivitv.

DAES IN ENERGY SYSTEM MODELS

Energy systems are in these context technical installations in which fluids are employed to transport energy between the mechanical devices and thereby determine the work of the installation. Common examples of energy systems are power plants, combustion engines, refrigerators, air conditioning, district heating and many industrial production processes. The devices used in energy systems are for instance heat exchangers, pumps, turbines, valves, compressors and fans. Many models of these simulation becomes of interest.

Models of Energy System Dynamics-

One assumption that distinguishes energy system models from models of fluid mechanics is the lumpedness of devices in energy systems. In a lumped model a whole device is enclosed in a control volume which is designated as a component. To form a whole system the components are connected in a network by equalizing inlet to one and outlet from the preceding one. The models are used to determine pressures, mass flows and temperatures (enthalpies/energies) in the system. The system of equations will be stiff, because the time constants for pressure, mass and temperature changes are different in orders of magnitude. Temperature changes are slow compared to mass changes which in turn are slower than pressure changes. Pressure changes propagate at the speed of sound, and may be assumed to be instantaneous. The resulting system of equations will consist of _ mass, energy and momentum balances for all control volumes_ averages for inlet/outlet values as representative for internal component Values _ constitutive relations which correlates the working principle of each device The constitutive relations are most often empirical relations for transfer of energy, pressure losses, chemical reactions : : : Another characteristic property of energy systems is the thermodynamic state relations which anywhere in a plant connect the state variables pressure, temperature, enthalpy, entropy, density and so on. These relations are the reason why only pressure and enthalpy are needed as global variables in a system. Enthalpy is chosen because it is generally applicable whereas temperature does not supply sufficient information during phase transition which is of great importance in many systems.

CONCLUSION

The notion of index has proved to be crucial for characterizing DAE systems with respect to their numerical solution, in our opinion, it, suffers until now of a lack of rigorous definition because of no well-established foundations. Our first, purpose in this paper was to gather several notions related to the index but scattered in the literature and with no general framework to relate them, except local coordinates computations. We think that the right framework for dealing with formal ("structural ') properties of differential systems is the modern differential geometry, including jet theory : we have used all this material to present a unified vision of some computations in relation with the index. This led us to an intrinsic definition through a test, of algebraic nature that, could be applied the same way to over determined systems. We have shown that the test, computations in jet spaces. Finally, our interpretation of the index was made in a "top-down" fashion, using concepts coming from PDE's : this approach makes links between the theory of ODE's (DAE's) and the theory of PDE's that could not have appeared with the classical definition of the index. Finally, we think that this approach could be very useful, for example when studying DAF/s coming from the discretization of PDE's (met hod of lines e.g.) and we have presented on a simple PDF example one possible direction in which the formal theory could be used in a PDF altogether with DAE context. The objective appears to be finished, for frameworks in reasonable provisions, best by BDF (regressive separation recipe) techniques. Anyway what is "reasonable" in estimate? There appears to be no other reply with the exception of a human eye, that is, heuristics: one runs numerous reckonings shifting the starting focus a little and trusting that the figured numerical result will additionally change just a bit, until one gets persuaded that the processed solution(s) is (are) a sensible rough guess to a right one. Lamentably, these quick routines rely on upon the picked representation of the DAE,
