Summary:
Stability analysis for numerical solutions of Voltera integro-differential equations based on linear multistep methods combined with reducible quadrature rules is presented. The results given are based on the test equation $y'(t)=\gamma y(t) + \int^t_0(\lambda + \mu t + vs) y(s) ds$ and absolute stability is deffined in terms of the real parameters $\gamma, \lambda, \mu$ and $v$. Sufficient conditions are illustrated for $(0;0)$ - methods and for combinations of Adams-Moulton and backward differentiation methods.
