“…A large literature in this direction has been devoted to the construction of IMEX Runge-Kutta schemes satisfying the asymptotic-preserving (AP) property in the case of hyperbolic problems [10,12,24,27] and for kinetic equations [11,14,16,17]. For the case of IMEX linear multistep methods, we refer to [1,2,4,6,18,20,21,30,31] for results on the construction and properties…”
