Numerical diagnostics of solution blowup in differential equations

New simple and robust methods have been proposed for detecting poles, logarithmic poles, and mixed-type singularities in systems of ordinary differential equations. The methods produce characteristics of these singularities with a posteriori asymptotically precise error estimates. This approach is applicable to an arbitrary parametrization of integral curves, including the arc length parametrization, which is optimal for stiff and ill-conditioned problems. The method can be used to detect solution blowup for a broad class of important nonlinear partial differential equations, since they can be reduced to huge-order systems of ordinary differential equations by applying the method of lines. The method is superior in robustness and simplicity to previously known methods.
