Summary.

We examine a class of symmetric collocation schemes for the solution of nonlinear boundary value problems for unstructured nonlinear systems of differential-algebraic equations with arbitrary index. We show that these schemes converge with the same orders as one would expect for ordinary differential equations. In particular, we show superconvergence for a special choice of the collocation points. We demonstrate the efficiency of the new approach with some numerical examples.
