Stability of the Radau IA and Lobatto IIIC methods for delay differential equations

Abstract. Recently, we have proved that the Radau IA and Lobatto IIIC methods are P-stable, i.e., they have an analogous stability property to A-stability with respect to scalar delay differential equations (DDEs). In this paper, we study stability of those methods applied to multidimensional DDEs. We show that they have a similar property to P-stability with respect to multidimensional equations which satisfy certain conditions for asymptotic stability of the zero solutions. The conditions are closely related to stability criteria for DDEs considered in systems theory.
