The asymptotic stability of one-parameter methods for neutral differential equations

This paper deals with the asymptotic stability of theoretical solutions and numerical methods for systems of neutral differential equationsx′=Ax′(t−τ)+Bx(t)+Cx(t−τ), whereA, B, andC are constant complexN ×N matrices, and τ>0. A necessary and sufficient condition such that the differential equations are asymptotically stable is derived. We also focus on the numerical stability properties of adaptations of one-parameter methods. Further, we investigate carefully the characterization of the stability region.
