This paper is concerned with the class of implicit-explicit linear multistep methods for the numerical solution of initial value problems for ordinary differential equations which are composed of stiff and nonstiff parts. We study the contractivity of such methods, with regard to linear autonomous systems of ordinary differential equations and a (scaled) Euclidean norm. In addition, we derive a strong stability result based on the stability regions of these methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
