first riccati equation with matrix variable coefficients, arising in optimal and robust control approach, is considered. an analytical approximation of the solution of nonlinear differential riccati equation is investigated using the adomian decomposition method. an application in optimal control is presented. the solution in different order of approximations and different methods of approximat...

This article gives sharp convergence results for stiffly accurate colloca-tion methods as applied to differential-algebraic equations (DAE's) of index 3 in Hessenberg form, proving partially a conjecture of Hairer, Lubich, and Roche.

This paper treats the problem of consumption and portfolio choice in continuous time, with stochastic income that cannot be replicated by trading the available securities. The optimal controls and value functions are characterized in terms of the viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton-JacobiBellman equation, which is shown to exist and is characterized. The optimal policy is then given f...

in this paper, a nonlinear volterra-fredholm integral equation of the first kind is solved by using the homotopy analysis method (ham). in this case, the first kind integral equation can be reduced to the second kind integral equation which can be solved by ham. the approximate solution of this equation is calculated in the form of a series which its components are computed easily. the accuracy...

Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) naturally arise in many applications, but present numerical and analytical difficulties. The index of a DAE is a measure of the degree of numerical difficulty. In general, the higher the index is, the more difficult it is to solve the DAE. Therefore, it is desirable to transform the original DAE into an equivalent DAE with lower index. In this paper, we p...
