Abstract :
This paper considers the index-1 tractable differential-algebraic equation. The Lyapunov stability of the trivial solution is discussed. As a criterion of the asymptotical stability we propose a numerical parameter $\mbox{\sl\ae}(A,B)$ characterizing the property of the index-1 matrix pencil $\{A, B\}$ to have all finite eigenvalues within the negative complex half-plane. An algorithm for computing this parameter is described.
