The easiest way to proceed is to use an ODE-integrator (like ODE15s)
to solve for the differential variables and to deduce the algebraic
variables "internally".
Example:
dy1/dt = 3*sin(y1)+5*cos(y2)
y2-y1-10=0
Here you could simply solve for y1 and deduce y2 explicitly as
y2=10+y1.
If the non-differential equations are not that simple, you will have
to solve for both differential and non-differential equations using
ODE15s.
The solver offers the possibility to define a mass matrix M in which
you set the rows in M to zero that correspond to algebraic variables.
For the example above,
M=[1 0 ; 0 0];
f=[3*sin(y1)+5*cos(y2);y2-y1-10];
Best wishes
Torsten.
