On Singular Points of Linear Differential-Algebraic Equations with Perturbations in the Form of Integral Operators

The paper consideres linear systems of ordinary differential equations of arbitrary order with a matrix identically degenerate in the domain of definition at the highest derivative of the desired vector function and with loads in the form of Volterra and Fredholm integral operators. The initial value problems are formulated using projections onto admissible sets of initial vectors. Special attention is paid to systems having singular points on the interval of integration. The concept of a singular point is formalized. Their classification in the case of differential equations is given. A number of examples illustrating the theoretical results are presented.
