Sufficiency of the bow-tie parameter region for maximum step-size coefficient

Consider the generic ERK(3,3) methods in the family defined by, with parameters (α,β)R2(\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb{R}^2 satisfying the relevant restriction. Define

B:={(α,β)R2:(12α<2323β1α2)(23<α11α2β23)}.{\cal{B}}:=\left\{ (\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb{R}^2: \left(\frac{1}{2}\leq \alpha <\frac{2}{3}\land \frac{2}{3}\leq \beta \leq 1-\frac{\alpha}{2}\right)\lor \left(\frac{2}{3}<\alpha \leq 1\land 1-\frac{\alpha}{2}\leq \beta \leq \frac{2}{3}\right)\right\}.

Maximum step-size conjecture. All methods in this family with (α,β)B(\alpha,\beta)\in{\cal{B}} have maximum step-size coefficient γ=1\gamma=1. This claim is intended to characterize the methods in the generic ERK(3,3) family attaining the maximum coefficient. The preceding calculations establish that B{\cal{B}} is necessary; the sufficiency assertion is the remaining part of the proposed characterization, and its resolution is not supplied here.
