Hi,

suppose that the stability function of a 2-level rk method is

R(z) = [z^2 +6z + 12] / [z^2 - 6z + 12]

In order to be stable, |R(z)| <= 1. How can i check this?
I have calculated the R(z) function, but now I'am having some problem
with that inequalities

Thank you

homework?
hint:
abs(R(z)) < 1 <=>
abs(z^2+6z+12) < abs(z^2 -6z +12) <=>
abs(z^2+6z+12)^2 < abs(z^2-6z+12)^2
use
abs(expr)^2 = Re(expr)^2+Im(expr)^2
getting finally an inequality involving Re(z) and Im(z)
