Abstract

In this paper, we are devoted to nonlinear stability and B-convergence of additive Runge-Kutta (ARK) methods for nonlinear stiff problems with multiple stiffness. The concept of ($θ$,$\bar{p}$,$\bar{q}$)-algebraic stability of ARK methods for a class of stiff problems $K_{σ,τ}$ is introduced, and it is proven that this stability implies some contractive properties of the ARK methods. Some results on optimal B-convergence of ARK methods for $K_{σ,0}$ are given. These new results extend the existing ones of RK methods and ARK methods in the references. Numerical examples test the correctness of our theoretical analysis.
