Weak Nonlinear Stability of Implicit Runge-Kutta Methods

From MaRDI portal





The nonlinear stability of Runge-Kutta methods for the numerical solution of systems of ordinary differential equations is considered. In the usual BN-stability concept, the test problems \(y'=f(t,y)\) satisfy the monotonicity condition \((f(t,u)-f(t,v),u-v)\leq 0\) with respect to a given scalar product \((.,.)\). Since this set of test problems implies very severe restrictions on the class of BN-stable methods, the author proposes a weaker BN-stability definition considering test problems that satisfy the monotonicity condition together with \(f(t,0)=0\) for all real \(t\). In this context, a sufficient set of algebraic conditions on the coefficients of a Runge-Kutta method for weaker BN-stability is given. The paper ends with an examination of the weaker BN-stability of two classes of implicit Runge-Kutta methods in which there exist weak BN- stable methods which are not BN-stable.
