Diagnosis of singular points of properly stated DAEs using automatic differentiation (Q907581)

The authors propagate a diagnosis tool to detect and analyze singular points of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) up to tractability index 2. The diagnosis tool is based on Taylor expansions of DAEs. The condition number of the matrix of the linearized DAEs can be used to detect hidden singularities. A drawback in principle is the costly computation of the matrix sequence along the solution. Here the authors propagate an implementation where it suffices to compute two projectors and use information provided by automatic differentiation. Finally, some numerical examples are presented.
