Non-linear stability of a general class of differential equation methods
TLDR
For a class of methods sufficiently general as to include linear multistep and Runge-Kutta methods as special cases, a concept known as algebraic stability is defined, based on a non-linear test problem, which enables estimates of error growth to be provided.
The equivalence ofB-stability andA-stability
TLDR
It is shown to what extent the linear (A-st stability) and non-linear (G-stability) stability concepts are equivalent for multistep methods in their one-leg formulation for Runge-Kutta methods.
