We are interested in solving linear time-dependent index one differential a
lgebraic equations (DAEs) by parallel asynchronous algorithms. We give a ne
w class of parallel iterative methods the convergence of which is obtained
by the study of a special fixed point mapping. These new algorithms can be
described as asynchronous multisplitting waveform relaxation methods for li
near differential algebraic systems. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rig
