Report on Stability and Boundedness
Report MI-2016-01, Mathematical Institute, Leiden University (2016), "Stability and Boundedness in the Numerical Solution of Initial Value Problems". This is a slightly extended version of a manuscript submitted for publication.
Report on Computing Optimal Runge-Kutta Methods
Report no. MI-2005-07, Mathematical Institute, Leiden University (2005), written jointly with Luca Ferracina: "Computing optimal monotonicity-preserving Runge-Kutta methods". There is overlap between Report no. MI 2005-07 and the paper, written jointly with Luca Ferracina, "Strong stability of singly-diagonally-implicit Runge-Kutta methods" (APNUM, 58 (2008) 1675-1686). But, the report contains material on computing optimal Runge-Kutta methods which has not been included in the paper.
