In 1975 the author showed that a norm (Liapunov function) can be constructed for the stability and error analysis of a linear multistep method (and the related one-leg method) for the solution of stiff non-linear systems, provided that the system satisfies a monotonicity condition and the method possesses a property calledG-stability. In this paper it is shown thatG-stability is equivalent toA-stability. More generally, a Liapunov function exists if the stability region of the method contains a circle (half-plane), provided that the system satisfies a monotonicity condition related to this circle (half-plane). In the general case this condition depends on the stepsize.
