Abstract

For backward differentiation formulae (BDF) applied to gradient flows of semiconvex functions, quadratic stability implies the existence of a Lyapunov functional. We compute the maximum time step which can be derived from quadratic stability for the 3-step BDF method (BDF3). Applications to the asymptotic behaviour of sequences generated by the BDF3 scheme are given.
