Surveys in Differential-Algebraic Equations II (Differential-Algebraic Equations Forum)

The present volume comprises survey articles on various fields of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs), which have widespread applications in controlled dynamical systems, especially in mechanical and electrical engineering and a strong relation to (ordinary) differential equations. The individual chapters provide reviews, presentations of the current state of research and new concepts in
- Observers for DAEs
- DAEs in chemical processes
- Optimal control of DAEs
- DAEs from a functional-analytic viewpoint
- Algebraic methods for DAEs

The results are presented in an accessible style, making this book suitable not only for active researchers but also for graduate students (with a good knowledge of the basic principles of DAEs) for self-study.
