An improvement of the numerical stability results for nonlinear neutral delay-integro-differential equations (Q732388)

The article deals with the Runge-Kutta method for the following neutral delay integro-differential equation \[ \begin{cases} \frac{d}{dt}[y(t) - Ny(t - \tau)] = f\left(t,y(t),y(t - \tau)m{\int_{t-\tau}^t} g(t,s,y(s)) \, ds\right), \quad t \geq t_0 \\ y(t) = \varphi(t), \quad t_0 - \tau \leq t \leq t_0,\end{cases} \] (\(\varphi: \;[t_0 - \tau,t_0] \to {\mathbb C}^d\), \(f: \;[t_0,\infty) \times {\mathbb C}^d \times {\mathbb C}^d \times \to {\mathbb C}^d\), \(g: \;\{(t,s): \;t \in [t_0,\infty), s \in [t - \tau,t]\} \times {\mathbb C}^d \to {\mathbb C}^d\) are given functions). More precisely, the authors study the asymptotic stability of the Runge-Kutta method under small perturbations of the initial function \(\varphi(t)\). The main result of the article desribes conditions under that the Runge-Kutta methods are globally and asymptotically stable. This result improves the analogous theorem by \textit{Y. Yu, L. Wen} and \textit{S. Li} [Appl. Math. Comput. 191, No.~2, 543--549 (2007)]. In the end of the article, a numerical example is considered.
