Papers to be submitted

  • Rational functions with maximal radius of absolute monotonicity, with David.

Papers to be written

  • Joint paper with David, Matteo and Yiannis. Add the internal stability estimates for optimal \(3^{\mathrm{rd}}\) order explicit SSP Runge-Kutta methods. Add the internal stability estimates for the extrapolation methods (closed-form solution of the partial difference equation, some results on the gamma function the \(W\)-function, lower and asymptotic bounds on the maximum).

To be investigated further

  • Can the global attractivity result (on the two-term non-linear recursion) be embedded in a more general setting?

  • In connection with the internal stability of extrapolation methods, can we prove the semi-disk property rigorously from the integrals \(I_1\), \(I_2\) and \(J\)? With the reference provided by Tihi, the answer is yes.

  • Linear programming in Mathematica with higher precision?

  • Investigate David’s observations on the monotonicity properties and on the patterns in connection with the numbers \(R_{s, p, k}\), i.e., the optimal threshold factors for explicit general linear methods with \(s\) stages, \(k\) steps, and order at least \(p\).

  • With David and Matteo we have some results on the maximal disks/ellipses contained in the spectrum, in connection with predicting upper bounds on the effective time steps.

  • Following Igor’s work (based on a paper of Hundsdorfer-Mozartova-Spijker), what can we say about the non-negativity of the sequences arising in connection with multistep methods and generated by linear recursions?
