TL;DR
This work develops a comprehensive criterion for the global solvability of semilinear DAEs, addressing both regular and singular pencils via a block-operator pencil and direct-space decompositions. By reducing singular and regular DAEs to coupled ODE/AE systems and imposing consistency conditions on initial data, the authors establish conditions for global existence, Lagrange stability, and boundedness, and they formulate blow-up criteria through Lyapunov-type functions and differential inequalities. The results are unified in a global solvability framework that covers both regular and singular cases and is supported by concrete examples that illustrate global solvability versus finite-time blow-up. The practical impact lies in providing rigorous, checkable criteria for the long-term behavior of DAEs in engineering and physics models, enabling reliable prediction and control of complex dynamical systems.
Abstract
For regular and nonregular (singular) semilinear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs), we prove theorems on the existence and uniqueness of global solutions and on the blow-up of solutions, which allow one to identify the sets of initial values for which the initial value problem has global solutions and/or for which solutions is blow-up in finite time, as well as the regions that the solutions cannot leave. Together these theorems provide a criterion of the global solvability of semilinear DAEs. As a consequence, we obtain conditions for the global boundedness of solutions.
