Projected Explicit and Implicit Taylor Series Methods for DAEs. 

 

Abstract: The only recently developed new algorithm for computing consistent initial values and Taylor coefficients for DAEs using projector based con- strained optimization opens new possibilities to apply Taylor series integra- tion methods. In this paper, we show how corresponding projected explicit and implicit Taylor series methods can be adapted for DAEs of arbitrary index. Owing to our formulation as a projected optimization problem con- strained by the derivative array, no explicit description of the inherent dy- namics is necessary and various Taylor integration schemes can be defined straightforward. In particular, we address higher-order Pade ́ methods that stand out due to their stability and order properties. We further discuss sev- eral aspects of our prototype implemented in Python using Automatic Dif- ferentiation. The methods have been successfully tested for examples aris- ing from multibody systems simulation and a higher-index DAE benchmark arising from servo-constraint problems.
