For algebraic stability, the weights must be nonnegative and the real symmetric matrix , where , must be a positive semidefinite matrix.
The weights are positive, but and , so
A positive semidefinite matrix cannot have a negative diagonal entry, as its quadratic form at the first standard basis vector would be negative. Thus this Lobatto IIIA method is not algebraically stable, despite its A-stability.
