Abstract
We consider linear homogeneous differential-algebraic equations A(Dx) + Bx = 0 and their adjoints
−D∗(A∗x)+B∗x= 0 with well-matched leading coefficients in parallel Assuming that the equations are tractable with index less than or equal to 2, we give a criterion ensuring the inherent ordinary differential equations of the pair to be adjoint each to other We describe the basis pairs in the invariant subspaces that yield adjoint pairs of essentially underlying ordinary differential equations For a class of formally self-adjoint equations, we charac-terize the boundary conditions that lead to self-adjoint boundary value problems for the essentially underlying Hamiltonian systems.

Trang 2where A, D, B : C([a, b], L(C m )), f : C([a, b], C m ), were introduced in [4] and their analysis was
launched A motivation to considering this class of implicit equations was that under very mild con-ditions the formal adjoint equation
−D∗
A∗x∗
+ B∗x
g : C([a, b], C m ), shares the basic properties with (1) In the paper, we intend to study two kinds of
ordi-nary differential equations (ODEs) that are derived from (1) and (2) in parallel and called inherent ODEs (INHODEs) and essentially underlying ODEs (EUODEs) Assuming that Eqs (1) and (2) are homoge-neous, we focus on the relationship within the INHODE pairs and EUODE pairs Special attention will
be paid to a particular subclass of (formally) self-adjoint homogeneous equations different from the one analyzed in [1] and similar to one in [7,6,3] For this class, we formulate boundary conditions that may
be considered as ones giving to rise to a (formally) self-adjoint BVP
The results of the paper rely strongly upon the analysis in [4,5] We adopt the notions from [5] that differ slightly from those in [4] Some of the ideas used here were inspired by constructions in [1] dealing with a special class of (formally) self-adjoint equations
Our general results if applied to (3) coincide with those proved in [1] If specialized into the equation examined in [3], the statements here are complementary to those in [3] Some special cases of adjoint DAE pairs with their specially chosen EUODEs appear in [8] and the results were implemented in [9] Our results cover these special cases, too
The outline of the paper is as follows For the convenience of the reader in Section 2 we recall the notions and notations related to next sections For an explanation of the relevance, we refer to [4,5] The basic results concerning the notions will be used here freely Section 3 is addressed to INHODEs Section 4 deals with the construction of the bases and pairs of bases in subspaces connected with (1) and (2) Section 5 derives the EUODEs and the pairs of EUODEs Section 6 defines a class of (formally) self-adjoint DAEs In terms of the boundary conditions posed for these (formally) self-adjoint DAEs, we formulate a condition sufficient to give a self-adjoint BVP for the EUODE Finally, in Section 7 we point out the practical importance of associated ODEs
2 Preliminaries
In the paper, the source functions f, g occurring in the general linear differential-algebraic equations
of the form (1) and (2) will not be involved into the analysis Therefore, without further mentioning we
will assume that f = 0, g = 0, i.e., the equations are homogeneous As to the remaining coefficients
defined onI := [a, b], first we assume that the leading coefficients A and D are “well-matched”, i.e.,
they fulfill as follows
and there exist functions a1, , a m −r , d1, , d r ∈ C1( I, C m ) such that for all t ∈ [a, b],
ker A(t)= spana1(t), , a m −r (t)
, im D(t)= spand1(t), , d r (t)
Trang 3We define the projector function R ∈ C1( I, L(C m )) by R2= R, ker R(t) = ker A(t), im R(t) = im D(t).
The leading coefficients of Eq (2) are also well-matched, the corresponding projector function is R∗∈
C1( I, L(C m )).
With Eq (1), the following chain is associated:
G0:= AD, B0:= B;
For i = 0, 1, Q i , P i , W i ∈ C(I, L(C m
)):
Q2i = Q i , W i2= W i ,
N i := ker G i = im Q i , P i = I − Q i ,
ker W i = im G i ,
G i+1:= G i + B i Q i , B i+1= B i P i ,
S i := {z : I → C m , B i z ∈ im G i}
Similarly, Eq (2) gives rise to the chain
G∗0:= −D∗A∗, B
∗0:= B∗;
For i = 0, 1, Q ∗i , P ∗i , W ∗i ∈ C(I, L(C m
)):
Q2∗i = Q ∗i , W ∗i2 = W ∗i ,
N ∗i := ker G ∗i = im Q ∗i , P ∗i = I − Q ∗i ,
ker W ∗i = im G ∗i ,
G ∗i+1 := G ∗i + B ∗i Q ∗i , B ∗i+1 = B ∗i P ∗i ,
S := {z : I → C m , B ∗i z ∈ im G ∗i}
To characterize DAEs we need a further assumption on smoothness:
Condition C2:
dim D(t)S1(t) = const = : ρ and dim D(t)N1(t) = const = : ν, (8)
and there exist functions s D
1, , s D
ρ , n D
1, , n D
ν ∈ C1( I, C m ) such that for all t ∈ I,
D(t)S1(t)= spans1D (t), , s ρ D (t)
, D(t)N1(t)= spann D1(t), , n D ν (t)
.
Let conditions C1 and C2 be valid Eq (1) is said to be
an index-0 tractable DAE if
an index-1 tractable DAE if
an index-2 tractable DAE if
Trang 4Denote the reflexive generalized inverses (RGIs) of D and A∗by D−and A∗−if defined by
D−D = P0, A∗−A∗= P∗0,
DD−= R, A∗A∗−= R∗.
While chain (6) depends on projectors Q0, Q1, the index does not If (1) has an index µ, µ ∈ {0, 1, 2},
then (2) is also tractable with index µ and vice versa.
In index-1 case, projector function Q0 (P0) is called canonical and it is denoted by Q 0c (P 0c ), if
ker Q0= S0 (im P 0c = S0) In index-2 case, the subspace N1 depends on the special choice of Q0(P0)
while S1does not Projector Q1is marked byif ker Q1= S1holds All terms in chain (6) derived by the use of Q1are marked by, too In index-2 case, canonical projector function Q 0c onto N0is defined as
Q 0c = Q0P1G−1
2 B + Q0Q1D−
D Q1D−
D,
where Q0 is an arbitrary projector function onto N0; Q 0c does not depend on the special choice of Q0
All terms in chain (6) derived by the use of Q 0care marked with subscriptc, too Q 1c= Q1holds Note that if P1= I is set, then we get the formula valid for index-1 case Therefore, there is no need for special
notation segregating the index-1 and index 2 canonical projectors Q 0c
In index-2 case, decomposition D(t)S1(t) ⊕ D(t)N1(t) ⊕ ker A(t) = C m induces projector
func-tions D P1D−, D Q1D−, I − R ∈ C1( I, L(C m )) onto the subspaces in the decomposition along the
other couple Similarly, projectors A∗P∗1A∗−, A∗Q∗1A∗− and I − R∗ correspond to decomposition
A∗(t)S∗1(t) ⊕ A∗(t)N
∗1(t) ⊕ ker D∗(t)= Cm and identity (D P1D−) = A∗P∗1A∗−holds
For an arbitrary V ∈ C(I, L(C m )), C1
V denotes function space{v ∈ C(I, C m ): V v ∈ C1( I, C m )} With
Eq (1) we associate operator

A∗and canonical projector functions for (2) are introduced in an analogous way with changes corresponding to the chain for (2)
Thorough the paper we use the notational convention: If H ∈ L(C n ) is invertible, then H−∗:= (H−1) ,
if H is not invertible then H−is a (fixed) RGI, H−∗:= (H−) ; in the latter case, H−∗= H∗− does not
hold, in general If H : I → L(C n ), then H−(t) := [H (t)]−, H∗(t) := [H (t)]∗.
3 Inherent ODEs for adjoint pairs
We remind that the equations under consideration are homogeneous
Trang 53.1 Index-0 equations
Now, Condition C1 combined with (9) ensures that both A and D are invertible Let u := Dx, u∗:=
A∗x∗ Equations
−u
∗+ D∗−1B∗A∗−1u
are called inherent ODEs (INHODEs) associated with (1) and (2), respectively On the one hand, they are equivalent to equations from which they are derived On the other hand, (14) and (15) form an adjoint pair
of ODEs Trivially, x ∈ C1
D (x∗∈ C1
A∗) is a solution of (1) ((2)) if and only if Dx (A∗x∗) is a solution of (14) ((15)) Practically, we do not treat equations of index-0 anymore, we included them for completeness, only
3.2 Index-1 equations
In index-1 case the canonical projectors and the arbitrary ones belonging to pair (1) and (2) are con-nected by the following proposition
Lemma 1 Let (1) (and/or (2)) be an index-1 DAE and let Q0and Q∗0be arbitrary projector functions onto N0and N∗0, respectively Then, P 0c = −(D∗A∗G−1
1 )
Proof The representation Q 0c = G∗−1
∗1 Q∗∗0G∗∗1 is a simple consequence of the trivial identities
ker Q0G−11 B = ker W0B and Q∗∗0G1= G∗
∗1Q0 Indeed, G∗−1∗1 Q∗∗0G∗∗1= G∗−1
∗1 Q∗∗0B = Q0G−11 B We
im-mediately get P 0c = I − G∗−1
∗1 Q∗∗0G∗∗1= G∗−1
∗1 P∗0∗G∗∗1= −G∗−1
∗1 AD The second representation can be
checked in a similar way 2
The lemma results in identities Q∗∗0c BP 0c = 0 and Q∗
0c B∗P ∗0c = 0, which, in turn, yield BP 0c=
P ∗0c∗ BP 0c = (P∗
0c B∗P ∗0c ) = (B∗P ∗0c ) = P∗
∗0c B Therefore, (1) can be rewritten as
0= A(Dx)+ BP 0c x + BQ 0c x = A(Dx)+ P∗
∗0c BP 0c x + Q∗
Take the projections onto im Q∗∗0c and ker Q∗∗0c and use RGIs A∗−c , D−c : P ∗0c = A∗−
c A∗, P 0c = D−
c D and
A∗−∗c A = R = DD−
c , R ∈ C1( I, L(C m )):
(Dx)− RDx + A∗−∗
A particular case of the above lemma is representation Q ∗0c = G−∗
1c Q∗0c G∗1c Thus, Q∗∗0c (BQ 0c )=
(G−∗1c Q∗0c G∗1c ) G 1c Q 0c = G 1c Q 0c, and therefore,
Q 0c x = 0,
is an equivalent to (17) Set u = DP 0c x = Dx and get the INHODE for (1) from (18):
u− Ru + A∗−∗
The next “invariance” gives importance to the INHODE:
Trang 6(I1) If u(t0) ∈ im D(t0) holds for an arbitrary t0, then u ∈ im D.
Indeed, A∗−c (I −R∗ = 0 and (19) involve that function w := (I −R)u satisfies the ODE w= (I −R)w,
therefore, w(t0) = 0 for an arbitrary t0yields w= 0
The similar procedure applied to (2) with the same RGIs yields the decomposition
Q ∗0c x∗= 0,
−A∗x∗
+ R∗ A∗x
∗+ D−∗
while setting u∗= A∗P ∗0c x∗= A∗x∗results in the inherent ODE for (2)
−u
∗+ R∗u
∗+ D−∗
Now, the invariance of the inherent ODE reads as
(I1∗) If u∗(t0) ∈ im A∗(t
0) holds for an arbitrary t0, then u∗∈ im A∗.
Let us return to arbitrary projector functions Q0and Q∗0 Due to the properties of RGIs, the identities
A∗−c = P ∗0c A∗−c R∗= P ∗0c A∗−c R∗R∗= P ∗0c A∗−c
A∗A∗−
DD−∗
= P ∗0cA∗−c A∗
A∗−
DD−∗
= P ∗0c P ∗0c A∗−
DD−∗
= P ∗0c A∗−
DD−∗
,
D−c = P 0c D−c R = P 0c D−c DD−= P2
0c D−= P 0c D−,
are valid Therefore,
A∗−∗c BD c−= DD−A∗−∗P∗
∗0c BP 0c D−= DD−A∗−∗P∗
∗0c BD−= DD−A∗−∗G
1P0G−11 BD−
= DD−A∗−∗ADG−1
1 BD−= DD−RDG−1
1 BD−= DG−1
1 BD−,
and the inherent equation turns to be identical to that in [4] Similarly,
D−∗c B∗A∗−c = A∗G−1
∗1B∗A∗−.
The new forms (19) and (21) of INHODEs show transparently that these ODEs depend only on the geometric characteristics of the problem: Eqs (19) and (21) contain terms dependent on the original
data, only: projector functions R, P 0c , P ∗0care defined uniquely by them and RGIs are induced uniquely
by the latter
Furthermore, the following statement becomes transparent
Theorem 2 In the index-1 case, the adjoint of the inherent ODE (19) of the DAE (1) coincides with the
inherent ODE (21) of the adjoint DAE (2) if and only if neither im D(t ) nor ker A(t ) depend on t
Proof Let im D and im A∗ be constant subspaces Then, so are their orthogonal complements, ker D∗ and ker A Then, R= 0 and vice versa 2
3.3 Index-2 equations
In index-2 case, we use again canonical projectors Q 0c , Q1, Q ∗0c , Q∗1, Πcan 2, Π∗can 2and the decom-positions relying upon them In the analysis we also utilize the identity Q = Q , i.e., Q = Q P
Trang 7and its counterpart marked by ∗ We take the projections of the equations onto im G 2c Πcan 2G−12c =
im AD P1G−12c and im G 2c (I − Πcan 2) G−12c = im G 2c (Q 0c + P 0c Q1) G−12c In the solution x part Πcan 2x=
P 0c P1x is segregated Terms D P1x = DP 0c P1x = D P1D−
c Dx and D Q1x = D Q1D c−Dx are
differen-tiable for x ∈ C1
D and DQ 0c P1x = 0, so we may split their sum Dx Note that due to condition C1,
ker AD = ker D holds Relation G−12c A= P1D−c also will be useful After partial differentiation, the first projection simplifies to
D P1x
−D P1D−c
D P1x−D P1D c−
D Q1x + D P1G−1
2c BD−c D P1D c−D P1x = 0. (22)
We undertake the second projection to scaling by G−12c that yields
0= Q 0c P1D−
c (Dx)+Q 0c + P 0c Q1G−1
2c Bx

D Q1x
A consequence of (23) is that the projections of the right side also vanish We obtain that in fact, (23) is equivalent to a system of algebraic equations:
The hidden constraint now sits inside the system, it becomes transparent if one returns to an arbitrary Q0
On the other hand, if (24) is taken into account, (22) yields the INHODE for u := D P1x
u−D P1D−c
u + D P1G−1
This is the same equation we got in [4] Indeed, the multiplier D P1D c− of u in the last term could be
inserted in [4] Subscriptcwas not present there However, it was shown that the equation is independent
of the choice of Q0
Now, we check that D P1G−12c BD−c D P1D−c = D P1D c−A∗−∗c BD c−D P1D c−.

Thus, the transparent form of (26) is

Trang 8We can treat the adjoint equation (2) in a quite similar way The final result for u∗= A∗P∗1x∗is

while the constrains are
Recall that D P1D c−= D P1D−and A∗P∗1A∗−
c = A∗P∗1A∗− Eq (27) has the “invariance” property:
(I2) If u(t0) ∈ im D(t0) P1(t0) is valid for an arbitrary t0, then u ∈ im D P1,
while for (28) the next claim holds:
(I2∗) If u∗(t0) ∈ im A∗(t
0) P∗1(t0) is valid for an arbitrary t0, then u∗∈ im A∗P∗1.
The proof is similar to the index-1 case, projector R is replaced by D P1D−

c connecting the last terms in (27) and (28) calls for comparing the adjoint of the INHODE (27) of the DAE (1) with the INHODE (28) of the adjoint DAE (2) The next Theorem gives the trivial answer
Theorem 3 In the index-2 case the adjoint of the inherent ODE (27) of the DAE (1) coincides with the
inherent ODE (28) of the adjoint DAE (2) if and only if projector D P1D−is constant.
Proof We again recall that (A∗P∗1A∗−) = D P1D− 2
We formulate this result in terms of the basic subspaces
Theorem 4 In the index-2 case the adjoint of the inherent ODE (27) of the DAE (1) coincides with the
inherent ODE (28) of the adjoint DAE (2) if and only if neither the subspace D(t )S1(t) nor the subspace
A∗(t)S∗1(t) depend on t
Proof Let D(t)S1(t) and A∗(t)S∗1(t) be constant subspaces Then, the orthogonal complement
A∗(t)N∗1(t) ⊕ ker D∗(t) of the first one does not depend on t either It means that neither the
im-age nor the kernel of projector A∗(t) P∗1(t)A∗−(t) depend on t , i.e., A∗(t) P∗1(t)A∗−(t) ≡ const Then,
D(t) P1(t)D−(t) is constant, as well.
In the opposite direction: Let projector function D P1D− and together with it, projector function
A∗P∗1A∗−be constant Then, their images, DS
1and A∗S∗1are constant 2
Remark 5 In the proof we referred to identities A∗S∗1 = (DN1⊕ ker A)⊥ and DS
1 = (A∗N∗1⊕
ker D∗ ⊥ They allow to formulate the above results in terms of one equation, either (1) or (2):
In the index-2 case, the adjoint of the inherent ODE (27) of the DAE (1) coincides with the inherent
ODE (28) of the adjoint DAE (2) if and only if the subspace pairs D(t )S1(t), D(t)N1(t) ⊕ ker A(t) or
A∗(t)S1(t), A∗(t)N1(t) ⊕ ker D∗(t) are constant.
Remark 6 There is another way to show the connection between the last terms in INHODEs of the
ad-joint pairs of DAEs We provide it since the method used here is applicable in later material, as well The
Trang 9method is based on an appropriate decomposition of the coefficient matrices and the explicit construction
of matrix chains for the adjoint pair (1), (2) In fact, the technique used here as well as in [2] relies upon
the pointwise reduction to a matrix pair equivalent to the original pair (AD, B).
Let us fix t = t0and omit the argument We begin with a decomposition resulting block matrices of special form
G0= AD = U
0 0 0
0 0 0
V, B0= B = U
0 0 B33
V,
where U and V are nonsingular The blocksizes in the decompositions of G0and B0correspond each to
other Let the diagonal blocks be of dimension n1, n2, n3, respectively One always may achieve either
n3= 0 (no third block-row and no block-column appear) or B33 be nonsingular The special case n2= 0
indicates that the matrix pair has index 1 (The decomposition trivially exists: first one should transform
G0to the indicated form, say, by a forward-backward Gauss elimination with row and column changes
if necessary and then by a next transformation that makes the appropriate blocks in B0 to vanish and
does not affect the pattern of G0) For brevity, in the next considerations, we assume the general case,
n2= 0, n3= 0 (and B33 is nonsingular) The special cases may be treated in a similar way A matrix chain corresponding to the scheme in (6) can be constructed explicitly: Set
Q0= V−1
0 0 0
0 I 0
0 0 I
V, then P0= V−1
0 0 0
0 0 0
V.
We may choose
W0= U
0 0 0
0 I 0
0 0 I
U−1.
An elementary computation yields
G1= G0+ B0Q0= U
0 0 B33

.
By definition in Section 2, if the index exists and it equals 2 then N1∩ S1= {0} One can verify directly
that this is the case if and only if det B21B12= 0 Let this assumption hold For brevity, let us introduce
the notations
Trang 10If we choose
Q1= V−1
−M 0 0
V,
then Q1is the projector onto N1along S1 We compute
P1= V−1
I − C 0 0

Elementary calculations give us

V.
Let us denote the expression DP1G−12 BD−by H Since D and R were not decomposed, we leave D and
D− in the formula for H However, the structure of H still becomes transparent if we take into account that now P1= P1and, therefore, DP1= DP0P1= DP0P1P0= DP1P0, i.e.,
H = DP1P0G−12 BD−= DV−1
(I − C)B11(I − C) 0 0
V D−.
Now, let us take the adjoint to H If we make use of the definitions A∗A∗−= D−∗D∗= R∗, D∗R∗=
D∗, R∗A∗= A∗and the decomposition of D∗A∗= (AD)∗, we get
H∗= D−∗V∗
(I − C∗)B∗
11(I − C∗ 0 0

Let H∗= A∗P∗1G−1

11(I − C∗ 0 0
U∗A∗−

(I − C∗)B∗
