Stability analysis of linear multistep methods for neutral delay differential equations

摘要

The stability analysis of linear multistep (LM) methods is carried out under Kreiss resolvent condition when they are applied to neutral delay differential equations of the form y′(t)=ay(t)+by(t-τ)+ cy′(t- τ) y(t)=g(t) -τ≤t≤0 with τ>0 and a, b and c∈, and it is proved that the ‖B n‖ is suitably bounded, where B is the companion matrix.
