Abstract

The special case of diagonally-implicit multistage integration methods is considered in which the order, the stage order, the number of values passed between steps and the number of stages in a step, all coincide. It is shown that a similarity transformation can be applied to the matrices characterizing the method so as to simplify the expression for the stability polynomial and thus aid in the search for methods with acceptable stability.
