Stability analysis of block boundary value methods for the neutral differential equation with many delays

This paper mainly deals with the asymptotic stability properties of block boundary value methods (B₂VMs) for the neutral differential equation with many delays. For the time lagging arguments, a technique of Lagrange interpolation is considered. Under some certain conditions, it is proved that B₂VMs can preserve the asymptotic stability of exact solutions for the neutral differential equation with many delays if and only if B₂VMs are A-stable for ordinary differential equation. Moreover, some numerical experiments are given to confirm the main conclusion.
