Pseudotransient continuation and differential-algebraic equations. (English) Zbl 1048.65080

The authors present a globally convergent method for semi-explicit index-1 differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) given by an iteration procedure. Pseudotransient continuation is a practical technique for globalizing the computation of steady-state solutions of nonlinear differential equations and is applied here to DAEs. The procedure is illustrated with numerical experiments on model incompressible flow and reacting flow problems.
