57(2012) APPLICATIONS OF MATHEMATICS No 1, 31 41 APPROXIMATE SOLUTION OF AN INHOMOGENEOUS ABSTRACT DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION* Emil Vitásek, Praha (Received November 19, 2009) Abstract Recently, we have developed the necessary and sufficient conditions under which a rational function F(hA) approximates the semigroup of operators exp(ta) generated by an infinitesimal operator A The present paper extends these results to an inhomogeneous equation u (t)=au(t)+f(t) Keywords: abstract differential equations, semigroups of operators, rational approximations, A-stability MSC 2010: 34K30, 34G10, 35K90, 47D03 1 Preliminaries Let X bea(complex)banachspaceandlet Abeaninfinitesimalgeneratorofa continuoussemigroupofoperators U(t), t [0, T](fortherelevantliteraturesee,for example,[1],[2],[4],[6]) Let Fbearationalfunctionwithpolesintherighthalf-planeofthecomplexplane andletitberegularatinfinity Further,letthecoefficientsofthepolynomialsin the numerator and denominator of F be real and let F approximate the exponential function with order p, ie, let (11) exp(z) = F(z) + O(z p+1 ) for z 0, where p is a positive integer Theapproximationofthegivensemigroup U(t)willbemeantinthefollowing sense:dividetheinterval [0, T]into Nsubintervals [t j, t j+1 ]ofthelength h = T/N * The research was supported by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institutional Research plan No AV0Z10190503 31

Here, A is an infinitesimal generator of a continuous semigroup of operators U(t) as insection1andthefunction f := [0, T] XiscontinuousItiswellknownthatif we suppose, moreover, that the initial value η lies in D(A) then the classical solution of the problem(21) (22) exists and is given by (23) u(t) = U(t)η + t 0 U(t τ)f(τ)dτ However,(23)hassenseforany η X eventhoughthefunction u(t)neednot be differentiable in the general case Nevertheless, we will suppose it to be the generalized solution of the problem(21) (22) In the nonhomogeneous case, we will not construct the approximations of the solution of(21) (22) directly from a rational function F approximating the exponential as was described in Section 1 but we will use the so-called selfstarting block methods as they were introduced in[3] For the readers convenience, the definition and basic properties of such methods will be summarized in Appendix Apply now the SB-method(35) to the problem(21) (22) We obtain (24) u jk+1 = u jk + hc Au jk+1 + hc f jk+1 u (j+1)k u jk Au (j+1)k d 1 Au jk d 1 f jk + h + h d k Au jk d k f jk f (j+1)k Let G Abethetensorproductofamatrix G(oforder k)andtheoperator A, ie G A := D(A) D(A) X Xdefinedby g 11 A g 1k A (25) G A = g k1 A g kk A This notation allows to rewrite(24) in the form (26) (I hc A) u jk+1 u (j+1)k = (I + hd A) u jk u jk + hc f jk+1 f (j+1)k d 1 f jk + h d k f jk 33
where Disthediagonalmatrixwiththecomponentsofthevector donthediagonal The operator I hc A is generally unbounded Thus, the question about the solvability of(24) should be answered first Before formulating the corresponding theorem, we recall that the resolvent R(λ, A) of A has to satisfy the inequality (27) R(λ, A) n M (R(λ) ω) n for n = 1, 2, andforany λforwhich R(λ) > ω,and M, ωarerealconstants Itissosince Aistheinfinitesimalgeneratorofastronglycontinuoussemigroupof operators, see, eg,[1] We also recall that the semigroup fulfills the inequality (28) U(t) M exp(ωt) Further,realizethatanymatrixoftheform I zcis(atleastforsufficiently small z)nonsingularsothatitispossibletowriteitsinverseintheform (29) (I zc) 1 = 1 Q(z) where p 11 (z) p 1k (z) p k1 (z) p kk (z) (210) Q(z) = det(i zc) and p ij (z)isthedeterminantofthematrixoforder k 1obtainedfromthematrix (I zc)byomittingthe jthrowand ithcolumnandmultiplyingby ( 1) i+j Note thatany p ij (z)isapolynomialin zofdegreeatmost k 1 Theorem21Let Ahaveitsspectruminthehalf-plane R(λ) ωandlet Chave itseigenvaluesinthehalf-plane R(λ) > 0Thentheoperator (I hc A)hasfor sufficiently small h a bounded inverse, and (211) (I hc A) 1 = M holds, where (212) m ij = p ij (ha)q 1 (ha) m 11 m 1k m k1 m kk andthepolynomials p ij (z)and Q(z)aregivenby(29)and(210),respectively 34,,

wheretherationalfunction Fisgivenby (218) F(z) = P(z)Q 1 (z), the polynomial P by (219) P(z) = and (220) q j = h i=1 p ks (z)(1 + d s z) c is m ki f jk+s + h d i m ki f jk Hence, if the matrix C has its eigenvalues in the right half-plane the corresponding SB-method can be used even for the approximation of the generalized solution Naturally, the method must be understood in the form(217) The convergence is controlled as can be expected by the behaviour of the powers of the operator F(hA) Before formulating the corresponding convergence theorem we prove an auxiliary assertion Lemma21LetanSB-methodoforder p 1begivenandletthecorresponding matrix C have its eigenvalues in the right half-plane of the complex plane Further, let(15)besatisfiedfinally,let f(t)becontinuousin [0, T]anddefine (h)by (221) (h) = sup [F n (ha) U n (h)]f(τ) nh t 0 τ t Then (222) lim h 0 (h) = 0 Proof Supposethat(222)isnottrue Thenthereexist ε 0 > 0andsequences {h k }, {n k },and {τ k }satisfying i=1 (223) h k 0, n k h k t, τ k t such that (224) [F n k (h k A) U n k (h k )]f(τ k ) ε 0 36
