Four Lectures on Differential-Algebraic Equations

Steffen Schulz

Abstract

Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) arise in a variety of
applications. Therefore their analysis and numerical treatment plays
an important role in modern mathematics. This paper gives an
introduction to the topic of DAEs. Examples of DAEs are considered
showing their importance for practical problems. Several well known
index concepts are introduced. In the context of the
tractability index existence and uniqueness of solutions for low
index linear DAEs is proved. Numerical methods applied to
these equations are studied.


Keywords
