TLDR
For a class of methods sufficiently general as to include linear multistep and Runge-Kutta methods as special cases, a concept known as algebraic stability is defined, based on a non-linear test problem, which enables estimates of error growth to be provided.
Abstract
For a class of methods sufficiently general as to include linear multistep and Runge-Kutta methods as special cases, a concept known as algebraic stability is defined. This property is based on a non-linear test problem and extends existing results on Runge-Kutta methods and on linear multistep and one-leg methods. The algebraic stability properties of a number of particular methods in these families are studied and a generalization is made which enables estimates of error growth to be provided for certain classes of methods.

A special stability problem for linear multistep methods

TL;DR: The trapezoidal formula has the smallest truncation error among all linear multistep methods with a certain stability property as discussed by the authors, and error bounds are derived which are valid under rather general conditions.

Stability Criteria for Implicit Runge–Kutta Methods

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison is made of two stability criteria, i.e., A-stability and Bstability, and it is shown that under certain mild conditions these two concepts are equivalent.

On the Butcher group and general multi-value methods

TL;DR: This paper proves a theorem (“Theorem 6”) on the composition of the Butcher series, shown to be fundamental for the theory of Runge-Kutta methods, and extends the multi-value methods of J. Butcher to the multiderivative case, which leads to a big class of integration methods for ordinary differential equations, including the methods of Nordsieck and Gear.

G-stability is equivalent toA-stability

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that G-stability is equivalent to A-stableness, and that a Liapunov function exists if the stability region of the method contains a circle (halfplane), provided that the system satisfies a monotonicity condition related to this circle.
