A study of B-convergence of Runge-Kutta methods. (English) Zbl 0572.65053

This paper deals with the convergence analysis of implicit Runge-Kutta methods as applied to stiff, semilinear systems of the form \(\dot U(\)t)\(=QU(t)+g(t,U(t))\). A criterion is developed which determines whether the order of optimal B-convergence is at least equal to the stage order or one order higher. This criterion is studied for a number of interesting classes of methods.
