11. Summary of new findings of the thesis
In this thesis, Runge-Kutta and linear multistep methods for a class of structured nonlinear DAEs have been proposed and investigated. In addition, we have extended the use of linear multistep methods with an interpolation and half-explicit Runge-Kutta methods with continuous extension to a class of structured nonlinear DDAEs with a constant delay.
For a class of structured nonlinear DAEs:
+ Algorithm, stability and convergence of numerical methods (Runge-Kutta and linear multistep methods) have been analyzed.
+ These methods preserve the stability and convergence as if they were applied to ordinary differential equations. For semi-explicit linear problems, half-explicit methods are much cheaper than implicit methods.
+ Numerical experiments have been presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
For a class of structured nonlinear DDAEs with a constant delay:
+ We have analyzed and classified the structured nonlinear DDAEs with a constant delay.
+ Algorithm description and convergence analysis for numerical solutions of a class of structured nonlinear DDAEs by the linear multistep methods with interpolation and half-explicit Runge-Kutta methods with continuous extension have been presented.
+ Numerical experiments have been presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
12. Practical applicability, if any: The methods can be used to solve real-life problems which arise in many scientific and engineering areas such as multibody mechanics, electrical circuit, optimal control, chemical reactions, …
13. Further research directions, if any:
+ Algorithms with error control and automatic stepsize selection should be designed.
+ Application of the methods in the computation of Lyapunov exponent and and Sacker-Sell spectral interval for DAEs.
+ A complete theory and numerical analysis for nonlinear DDAEs with non-constant delay would be an interesting project, as well.
