Dissipativity of Runge-Kutta methods for dynamical systems with delays

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of dissipativeinitial value problems with delays by Runge-Kutta methods. Asufficient condition for the dissipativity of the systems isgiven. The concepts of D(l)-dissipativity and GD(l)-dissipativityare introduced. We investigate the dissipativity propertiesof (k,l)-algebraically stable Runge-Kutta methods with piecewiseconstant or linear interpolation procedures for finite-dimensionaland infinite-dimensional dynamical systems with delays.
