Computing power series solutions of a nonlinear PDE system

Évelyne Hubert, Nicolas Le Roux · 2003

This paper presents a new algorithm to compute the power series solutions of a significant class of nonlinear systems of partial differential equations. The algorithm is very different from previous algorithms to perform this task. Those relie on differentiating iteratively the differential equations to get coefficients of the power series, one at a time. The algorithm presented here relies on using the linearisation of the system and the associated recurrences. At each step the order up to which the power series solution is known is doubled. The algorithm can be seen as belonging to the family of Newton iteration methods.
