In this paper, the stability regions of linear
-methods are considered with respect to the linear integro-differential equation with an arbitrary but fixed delay. A necessary condition is proved for
-methods to be weakly
(0)-stable and a sufficient condition is conjectured by some numerical investigation.
Keywords: delay-integro-differential equations; numerical methods; delay-dependent stability.
