Nonlinear Stability and Convergence of Two-Step Runge-Kutta Methods for Neutral Delay Differential Equations

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the stability and convergence analysis of the two-step Runge-Kutta (TSRK) methods with the Lagrange interpolation of the numerical solution for nonlinear neutral delay differential equations. Nonlinear stability and D-convergence are introduced and proved. We discuss theGR(l)-stability,GAR(l)-stability, and the weakGAR(l)-stability on the basis of(k,l)-algebraically stable of the TSRK methods; we also discuss the D-convergence properties of TSRK methods with a restricted type of interpolation procedure.
