Titre / Title: Une forme normale pour les DAE linéaires
Abstract : We study linear Differential Algebraic Equations, DAE, with time varying coefficients. Such equations B(t)Y'(t)=A(t)Y(t)+f(t) are intensively studied from a numerician point of view. Some canonical forms has been proposed to find under which conditions the equation has a solution, to find the set of consistent initial conditions and to determine under which conditions are there unique solutions. However, since the situation where the system admits infinitely many solutions for one initial value is not really tractable in a numerician framework, few algorithms may be found in this latter case. Among them we find the method of P. Kunkel and V. Mehrmann who propose a new set of local characterizing quantities for the treatment of the system. This leads to a generalization of the global index and somehow to a generalization of the Weiestrass-Kronecker form to time dependent pencils. In this paper we show that these latter characterizing quantities impose too restrictive conditions on the input equations. We propose new definitions for them that lead to a new normal form and allow us to treat a broader class of equations.
