The method of quasilinearization is a procedure for obtaining approximate solutions of differential equations. In this paper, this technique is applied to a differential-algebraic problem. Under some natural assumptions, monotone sequences converge quadratically to a unique solution of our problem.
In this paper explicit expressions for solutions of Cauchy problems and two-point boundary value problems concerned with the generalized Riccati matrix differential equation are given. These explicit expressions are computable in terms of the data and solutions of certain algebraic Riccati equations related to the problem. The interplay between the algebraic and the differential problems is used in order to obtain approximate solutions of the differential problem in terms of those of the algebraic...
