Numerical Solution of Initial-Value Problems in Differential-Algebraic Equations

This book, originally published in 1989 and updated and expanded for the Classics edition, is the only general DAE book available. It not only develops guidelines for choosing different numerical methods, it is the first book to discuss DAE codes, including the popular DASSL code. An extensive discussion of backward differentiation formulas details why they have emerged as the most popular and best understood class of linear multistep methods for general DAEs.
