Abstract

The concept of suitability means that the nonlinear equations to be solved in an implicit Runga-Kutta method have a unique solution. In this paper, we introduce the concept of D-suitability and show that previous results become special cases of ours. In addition, we also give some examples to illustrate the D-suitability of a matrixA.
