A class of contractive second derivatives multistep methods
This article studies contractivityproperties (with respect to the max- norm) of second derivative multistep methods, when they are applied to stiff differential equations. Sufficient conditions are given under which the contractivity region is closed and connected by arcs of circle. For methods with this property a characterization of \(A_ 0\)-contractivity and of A-contractivity is presented.
