Abstract

The characterization ofA-stable methods is often considered as a very difficult task (see e.g. [1]). In recent years, simple proofs have been found for methods of orderp≧2m-2 (see [2], [3], [7]). In this paper, we characterize theA-acceptable approximations of orderp ≧2m-4 and apply the result to 12-parameter families of implicit Runge-Kutta methods.
