A General Scheme for Solving Systems of Linear First-Order Differential Equations Based on the Differential Transform Method

Abstract

In this study, we develop the differential transform method in a new scheme to solve systems of first-order differential equations. The differential transform method is a procedure to obtain the coefficients of the Taylor series of the solution of differential and integral equations. So, one can obtain the Taylor series of the solution of an arbitrary order, and hence, the solution of the given equation can be obtained with required accuracy. Here, we first give some basic definitions and properties of the differential transform method, and then, we prove some theorems for solving the linear systems of first order. Then, these theorems of our system are converted to a system of linear algebraic equations whose unknowns are the coefficients of the Taylor series of the solution. Finally, we give some examples to show the accuracy and efficiency of the presented method.
