ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY OF LINEAR NEUTRAL DELAY DIFFERENTIAL-ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS AND LINEAR MULTISTEP METHODS.

This paper is concerned with delay-independent asymptotic stability of linear neutral delay differential-algebraic equations and linear multistep methods. We first give some sufficient conditions for the delay-independent asymptotic stability of these equations. Then we study and derive a sufficient and necessary condition for the delay-independent asymptotic stability of numerical solutions obtained by linear multistep methods combined with Lagrange interpolation. Finally, one numerical example is performed to confirm our theoretical result. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
