The present volume comprises survey articles on various fields of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs), which have widespread applications in controlled dynamical systems, especially in mechanical and electrical engineering and a strong relation to (ordinary) differential equations. The individual chapters provide reviews, presentations of the current state of research and new concepts in - Flexibility of DAE formulations - Reachability analysis and deterministic global optimization - Numerical linear algebra methods - Boundary value problems The results are presented in an accessible style, making this book suitable not only for active researchers but also for graduate students (with a good knowledge of the basic principles of DAEs) for self-study.

A collection of survey articles, covering a broad spectrum of areas related to DAEs, each of which presented in an individual chapter Unique in the sense that other books provide rather an introduction to the principles of DAEs Suitable not only for graduate students for self-study but also for active researchers by dealing with specific aspects of particular fields of DAEs Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
