Pseudo--transient continuation methods are quite popular for the numerical solution of steady state problems, typically in PDEs. They are based on an embedding into a time dependent initial value problem. In the presence of dynamical invariants the Jacobian matrix of the nonlinear equation system is bound to be singular. The paper presents a convergence analysis which takes this property into account -- in contrast to known approaches. On the basis of the new analysis adaptive algorithms are suggested in detail. These include a variant with Jacobian approximations as well as inexact pseudo--transient continuation, both of which play an important role in discretized PDEs. Numerical experiments are left to future work.
