    The paper is devoted to the study of contractivity and monotonicity properties for additive Runge-Kutta (ARK) methods, \((A^{[i]},b^{[i]t}),\) \(i=1,\dots,k,\) when the used norm is an inner product norm. The first section specifies the mathematical notions which are used in the paper and presents the main results concerning the present subject. In section two one gives sufficient conditions to obtain unconditional and conditional contractivity. Monotonicity results are obtained with similar arguments. \noindent A similar analysis is made for nonconfluent ARK methods, concluding that these conditions are also necessary. Section three represents a study of the contractivity / monotonicity properties of some ARK methods in literature. All of them are ARK methods with two different s-stage Runge-Kutta schemes. The final section contains some conclusions. Among them the authors remark the fact that conctractivity (monotonicity) for each Runge-Kutta method does not ensure contractivity (monotonicity) for the ARK method. The paper finishes with the presentation of the coefficients of some ARK methods from the literature, which are analysed in the third section.
