Applications of the differential transform to second-order half-linear Euler equations

Nonlinear differential equations are considered to be an important tool for describing a number of phenomena in engineering and the natural sciences, and their study is thus subject to contemporary research. The purpose of the paper is to show applications of the differenttial transform to second-order half-linear Euler equations with and without delay. The case of proportional delay is considered. Finding a numerical solution to an initial value problem is reduced to solving recurrence relations. The outputs of the recurrence relations are coefficients of the Taylor series of the solution. Validity of the presented algorithm is demonstrated on concrete examples of initial value problems. Numerical results are compared with solutions produced by Matlab function "ddesd".
