Highly stable Runge-Kutta methods for Volterra integral equations

We investigate the numerical stability of the class of Runge-Kutta methods for the solution of Volterra integral equations of the second kind. To this aim we introduce the definition of V"0(@a)-stability and a new technique to construct highly stable methods. V"0-stable methods of order three and four are provided.
