TL;DR
This work develops a comprehensive framework for abstract differential-algebraic equations (ADAEs) in Banach spaces, allowing ADAEs of arbitrarily high index to be analyzed via a reduction to explicit differential and algebraic subsystems using regular pencils $P(\lambda)=\lambda A+B$ and associated space decompositions. Central to the approach are nonlocal implicit function theorems that guarantee existence, uniqueness, and regularity of implicit components $\eta(t,x)$, enabling global solvability and precise blow-up/boundedness characterizations through Lyapunov-type functionals. The authors derive two complementary strategies (a first approach leveraging an implicit definition of the algebraic block, and a second approach handling more general right-hand sides) and tailor the results to index-1 and index-2 pencils, including detailed canonical decompositions and specialized theorems. The findings provide rigorous criteria for maximal intervals of existence, global solvability, and Lagrange stability/instability, with broad applicability to control, mechanics, robotics, kinetics, and network models that generate ADAEs or PDAEs. Overall, the paper advances the theory of semilinear ADAEs by extending solvability and qualitative behavior analysis to high-index pencils and by offering constructive decomposition tools for converting ADAEs into tractable explicit systems.
Abstract
Abstract differential-algebraic equations (ADAEs) of a semilinear type are studied. Theorems on the existence and uniqueness of solutions and the maximal interval of existence, on the global solvability of the ADAEs, the boundedness of solutions and the blow-up of solutions are presented. Previously, an ADAE is reduced to a system of explicit differential equations and algebraic equations by using projectors. The number of equations of the system depends on the index of the characteristic pencil of the ADAE. We consider the pencil of an arbitrarily high index.
