The material is devoted to the conditions that guarantee regularity properties of the Runge-Kutta method for differential-algebraic equations. The first section is an introduction concerning the concept of regularity property. An initial value problem for a differential-algebraic equation and an \(s\)-stage Runge-Kutta method for the above problems are presented. Section two contains some theories of regularity properties of the Runge-Kutta method for differential-algebraic equations. Conditions that quarantee regularity properties are considered. Firstly, a necessary and sufficient condition is proved, which insures that a Runge-Kutta method is regular. Then, defining the EOS-methods, one proves that an EOS Runge-Kutta method for a differential-algebraic equation is regular. Characterizing the regularity of a Runge-Kutta method for a differential-algebraic equation, which is a non-EOS, one proves, finally, that this method is regular if and only if the folding method is regular for differential-algebraic equation.
