Abstract
B-consistency andB-convergence of linearly implicit one step methods with respect to a class of arbitrarily stiff semi-linear problems are considered. Order conditions are derived. An algorithm for constructing methods of order>1 is shown and examples are given. By suitable modifications of the methods the occurring order reduction is decreased.
