Abstract

We consider linear constant coefficient differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) A x(t) + Bx(t) = f(t) where A, B are square matrices and A is singular. If det(λA + B) with λ ∈ ℂ is not identically zero, the system of DAEs is solvable and can be separated into two uncoupled subsystems. One of them can be solved analytically and the other one is a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). We discretize the ODEs by boundary value methods (BVMs) and solve the linear system by using the generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method with Strang-type block-circulant preconditioners. It was shown that the preconditioners are nonsingular when the BVM is Aν,μ- ν-stable, and the eigenvalues of preconditioned matrices are clustered. Therefore, the number of iterations for solving the preconditioned systems by the GMRES method is bounded by a constant that is independent of the discretization mesh. Numerical results are also given.
