Stability of periodic solutions of index-2 differential algebraic systems (Q1874609)

The authors study periodic index-2 differential algebraic equations (DAEs) of the form \(A(x,t)\dot x+b(x,t)=0\), and the question whether a periodic solution is stable in the sense of Lyapunov. As the main result, a stability criterion is proved. It sounds as nice as the well-known original model for regular ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This criterion is formulated in terms of the original data so that it may be used in practical computations, too.
