Abstract :
This paper discusses Lyapunov stability of the trivial solution of linear differential-algebraic equations. As a criterion for the asymptotic stability we propose numerical parameters characterizing the property of a regular matrix pencil $\lambda A - B$ to have all finite eigenvalues in the open left half-plane. Numerical aspects for computing these parameters are discussed.
