Abstract
This paper establishes a rigorous differential algebraic framework for solving analytic transcendental equations, extending the methodology previously developed for polynomial equations. We construct a well-defined transcendental differential algebraic closure K(M) trans for any truncation order M and prove that the roots of the corresponding truncated equation fM(x) = 0 can be analytically expressed within this closure. The solution formula generalizes the polynomial case, featuring critical point analysis, Taylor series truncation, combinatorial correction terms, and spectral decomposition. We provide constructive proofs, derive combinatorial expressions for the correction coefficients γ(M) m , and present a detailed O(M2) algorithm. Extensive numerical validation across diverse transcendental equations demonstrates high-precision accuracy (residuals of the truncated equation typically below 10−28). This work reconciles with classical impossibility results by demonstrating that explicit analytic solutions exist in the appropriately extended differential algebraic closure K(M) trans, even for equations unsolvable in elementary functions.

Title
Unified Analytic Solution of Multivariate Transcendental Equations via Hierarchical Differential Algebraic Closure
Description
This paper establishes a rigorous theoretical and computational framework for solving systems of multivariate transcendental equations by constructing a hierarchical transcendental differential algebraic closure. Building upon established methodologies for univariate transcendental equations and multivariate polynomial systems, we extend the differential algebraic approach to equations involving exponential, logarithmic, trigono metric, and other non-algebraic functions in multiple variables. We define the transcendental differential field extension with multiple commuting derivations, construct a recursively layered closure space incorporating partial derivative operators, and introduce the transcendental critical value tensor which encodes the complete local differential structure. We prove a general solution representation theorem, demonstrating that all solutions to the truncated system can be expressed analytically within this closure.
