Approximate solutions by truncated taylor series expansions of nonlinear differential equations and related shadowing property with applications

Abstract

This paper investigates the errors of the solutions as well as the shadowing property of a class of nonlinear differential equations which possess unique solutions on a certain interval for any admissible initial condition. The class of differential equations is assumed to be approximated by well-posed truncated Taylor series expansions up to a certain order obtained about certain, in general nonperiodic, sampling points t i [ t 0, t J ] for i = 0,1,., J of the solution. Two examples are provided. © 2014 M. De la Sen et al.
