Many of MATLAB's ODE solvers for stiff systems (such as ode 15s) use numerical differentiation formula (NDF) methods, which are implicit schemes that generalize backward differentiation formula (BDF) methods. First-order NDF methods have the form yn_+1 - y_n - K(y_n+1 - 2y_n + y_n-1) = hf(t_n+1,y_n+1), for a real parameter k. (When k = 0 this is the backward Euler or BDF1 method.) The boundary of the stability region of a linear multistep method consists of those points z for which the characteristic equation p(r) - 2 sigma (r) = 0 has a squareroot r(z) of magnitude 1. The squareroot-locus method obtains the boundary as a subset of z = rho(r)/sigma(r) as r = e^i theta ranges over all complex numbers of magnitude 1. For the first-order NDF methods show that Re(z) = 1 - (1 - 2k)cos(theta) - 2/ccos^2(theta). Use the result in (a) to show that the first-order NDF methods are A-stable for parameter values |k| lessthanorequalto 1/2.
