Surveys in Differential-Algebraic Equations IV 

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 






– History of DAEs 






– DAE aspects of mechanical multibody systems 






– Model reduction of DAEs 






– Observability for DAEs 






– Numerical Analysis for DAEs






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.
