Abstract
The explicit Runge-Kutta methods possessing extended stability regions have already been discussed by many authors including van der Houwen [6]. It is the purpose of the present paper to derive a class of variable coefficients A-stable explicit Runge-Kutta methods. Some numerical tests justifying the results are given.
