An Extension of Pantelides Algorithm for Consistent Initialization of Differential-Algebraic Equations Using Minimally Singularity

In this paper, an algorithm for index reduction of differential algebraic equations (DAE) is proposed. Pantelides algorithm has already been proposed as an algorithm for this purpose. This conventional algorithm has succeeded in reducing the calculation time required for index reduction. However, there exist some DAE systems whose index cannot be reduced correctly with the conventional algorithm. In this paper, we propose an extension of Pantelides algorithm to deal with wider class of DAE systems.
