Abstract
This paper is concerned with the stability of the one-leg methods for nonlinear Volterra functional differential equations (VFDEs). The contractivity and asymptotic stability properties are first analyzed for quasi-equivalent and A-stable one-leg methods by use of two lemmas proven in this paper. To extend the analysis to the case of strongly A-stable one-leg methods, Nevanlinna and Liniger's technique of introducing new norm is used to obtain the conditions for contractivity and asymptotic stability of these methods. As a consequence, it is shown that one-leg θ-methods (θâ¯ââ¯(1/2, 1]) with linear interpolation are unconditionally contractive and asymptotically stable, and 2-step Adams type method and 2-step BDF method are conditionally contractive and asymptotically stable. The bounded stability of the midpoint rule is also proved with the help of the concept of semi-equivalent one-leg methods.
