    Solving A Nonhomogeneous Linear System of Interval Differential Equations
    (2018) Gasilov, Nizami A.; Amrahov, Sahin Emrah; AAN-9386-2020
    In most application problems, the exact values of the input parameters are unknown, but the intervals in which these values lie can be determined. In such problems, the dynamics of the system are described by an interval-valued differential equation. In this study, we present a new approach to nonhomogeneous systems of interval differential equations. We consider linear differential equations with real coefficients, but with interval initial values and forcing terms that are sets of real functions. For each forcing term, we assume these real functions to be linearly distributed between two given real functions. We seek solutions not as a vector of interval-valued functions, as usual, but as a set of real vector functions. We develop a method to find the solution and establish an existence and uniqueness theorem. We explain our approach and solution method through an illustrative example. Further, we demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach over the differential inclusion approach and the generalized differentiability approach.

    Solving A System Of Linear Differential Equations With Interval Coefficients
    (2021) Gasilov, Nizami A.; AEN-1756-2022
    In this study, we consider a system of homogeneous linear differential equations, the coefficients and initial values of which are constant intervals. We apply the approach that treats an interval problem as a set of real (classical) problems. In previous studies, a system of linear differential equations with real coefficients, but with interval forcing terms and interval initial values was investigated. It was shown that the value of the solution at each time instant forms a convex polygon in the coordinate plane. The motivating question of the present study is to investigate whether the same statement remains true, when the coefficients are intervals. Numerical experiments show that the answer is negative. Namely, at a fixed time, the region formed by the solution's value is not necessarily a polygon. Moreover, this region can be non-convex. The solution, defined in this study, is compared with the Hukuhara-differentiable solution, and its advantages are exhibited. First, under the proposed concept, the solution always exists and is unique. Second, this solution concept does not require a set-valued, or interval-valued derivative. Third, the concept is successful because it seeks a solution from a wider class of set-valued functions.

    A Method for the Numerical Solution of a Boundary Value Problem for a Linear Differential Equation with Interval Parameters
    (2019) Gasilov, Nizami A.; Kaya, Mujdat; AAN-9386-2020
    In many real life applications, the behavior of the system is modeled by a boundary value problem (BVP) for a linear differential equation. If the uncertainties in the boundary values, the right-hand side function and the coefficient functions are to be taken into account, then in many cases an interval boundary value problem (IBVP) arises. In this study, for such an IBVP, we propose a different approach than the ones in common use. In the investigated IBVP, the boundary values are intervals. In addition, we model the right-hand side and coefficient functions as bunches of real functions. Then, we seek the solution of the problem as a bunch of functions. We interpret the IBVP as a set of classical BVPs. Such a classical BVP is constructed by taking a real number from each boundary interval, and a real function from each bunch. We define the bunch consisting of the solutions of all the classical BVPs to be the solution of the IBVP. In this context, we develop a numerical method to obtain the solution. We reduce the complexity of the method from O(n(5)) to O(n(2)) through our analysis. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and the numerical method by test examples.
