Stability analysis of one-step methods for neutral delay-differential equations

SummaryIn this paper stability properties of one-step methods for neutral functional-differential equations are investigate. Stability regions are characterized for Runge-Kutta methods with respect to the linear test equation $$\begin{gathered} y'\left( t \right) = ay\left( t \right) + by\left( {t - \tau } \right) + cy'\left( {t - \tau } \right),t \geqq 0, \hfill \\ y\left( t \right) = g\left( t \right), - \tau \leqq t \leqq 0, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ τ>0, where,a, b, andc are complex parameters. In particular, it is shown that everyA-stable collocation method for ordinary differential equations can be extended to a method for neutrals delay-differential equations with analogous stability properties (the so called NP-stable method). We also investigate how the approximation to the derivative of the solution affects stability properties of numerical methods for neutral equations.
