It is well known that the seven-step backward difference formula (BDF) is unstable for the parabolic equations, since it is not even zero-stable. However, a linear combination of two non zero-stable schemes, namely the seven-step BDF and…

Variable steps implicit-explicit multistep methods for PDEs have been presented in [17], where the zero-stability is studied for ODEs; however, the stability analysis still remains an open question for PDEs. Based on the idea of linear…

Recently, a new class of BDF schemes proposed in [F. Huang and J. Shen, SIAM J Numer. Anal., 62.4, 1609--1637] for the parabolic type equations are studied in this paper. The basic idea is based on the Taylor expansions at time…
We prove that the two-step backward differentiation formula (BDF2) method is stable on arbitrary time grids; while the variable-step BDF3 scheme is stable if almost all adjacent step ratios are less than 2.553. These results relax the…
Based on the equivalence of A-stability and G-stability, the energy technique of the six-step BDF method for the heat equation has been discussed in [Akrivis, Chen, Yu, Zhou, Math. Comp., Revised]. Unfortunately, this theory is hard to…

The two-step time discretization proposed by Dahlquist, Liniger and Nevanlinna is variable step $G$-stable. (In contrast, for increasing time steps, the BDF2 method loses $A$-stability and suffers non-physical energy growth in the…
For backward differentiation formulae (BDF) applied to gradient flows of semiconvex functions, quadratic stability implies the existence of a Lyapunov functional. We compute the maximum time step which can be derived from quadratic…
