A(alpha)-stability conjecture for the fourth-order biased IMEX scheme

Let the biased IMEX scheme be

y˙Δt[k]=f(yn)+13(2g(yn+1)+g(yn2)).\dot{y}_{\Delta t}^{[k]} = f(y^{n}) + \frac{1}{3}\bigl(2g(y^{n+1}) + g(y^{n-2})\bigr).

Here λ\lambda is the explicit eigenvalue, μ\mu is the implicit eigenvalue, and S\mathcal{S} is the explicit stability domain. The notation A(α)A(\alpha)-stable means that the implicit stability domain contains a wedge with half-angle α\alpha. A(α\alpha)-stability conjecture. The scheme with k=4k=4 is A(α)A(\alpha)-stable with respect to μ\mu for λS\lambda\in\mathcal{S}, where the half-angle of the wedge of stability is

α0.23π.\alpha\approx 0.23\pi.

The statement is proposed as a stability result for the method; the supplied text gives no proof or resolution status.
