“…[4,12,13], the theoretical understanding and the development of appropriate numerical methods for DDAEs, however, is far from complete even for the case of linear systems with constant coefficients. Only very few results are available, see e.g., [1,2,6,7,8,19], and these are mainly for the special case of DAEs, where the delay component is nothing else than an additional part of the inhomogeneity.…”
