β¦ Synopsis
This paper studies estimates of the form Ilyl -~l II ~ ~(hy)llu0-F011, where yl, Yl are the numerical solutions of a Runge-Kutta method applied to a stiff differential equation satisfying a one-sided Lipschitz condition (with constant u). An explicit formula for the optimal function ~(x) is given, and it is shown to be superexponential, i.e., ~(x~)qo(x2) ~< q~(xj + x2) if Xl and x2 have the same sign. As a consequence, results on asymptotic stability are obtained. Furthermore, upper bounds for ~(x) are presented that can be easily computed from the coefficients of the method.

For implicit Runge-Kutta methods intended for stiff ODEs or DAEs, it is often difficult to embed a local error estimating method which gives realistic error estimates for stiff/algebraic components. If the embedded method's stability function is unbounded at z = o0, stiff error components are grossl
