In its most recent board meeting, the Austrian Science Fund FWF has granted a research project on "Algorithms for D-Algebraic Functions". The project was proposed by Manuel Kauers, who will also serve as principal investigator.

The general goal of the project is the development of algorithms for functions and power series defined by nonlinear differential equations. While solutions of linear differential equations have been intensively studied in computer algebra, and many sophisticated algorithms are available for them, the nonlinear case has not received that much attention yet. In the project, this case will be put into the focus.
