Abstract
A characteristic feature of differential-algebraic equations is that one needs to find derivatives of some of their equations with respect to time, as part of the so-called index reduction or regularization, to prepare them for numerical solution. This is often done with the help of a computer algebra system. We show in two significant cases that it can be done efficiently by pure algorithmic differentiation. The first is the Dummy Derivatives method; here we give a mainly theoretical description, with tutorial examples. The second is the solution of a mechanical system directly from its Lagrangian formulation. Here, we outline the theory and show several non-trivial examples of using the ‘Lagrangian facility’ of the Nedialkov– Pryce initial-value solver DAETS, namely a spring-mass-multi-pendulum system; a prescribed-trajectory control problem; and long-time integration of a model of the outer planets of the solar system, taken from the DETEST testing package for ODE solvers.
