Numerical Methods: Euler to Runge–Kutta · Challenge problem

The θ\theta-method yn+1=yn+h[(1−θ)f(tn,yn)+θf(tn+1,yn+1)]y_{n+1} = y_n + h\left[(1 - \theta)f(t_n, y_n) + \theta f(t_{n+1}, y_{n+1})\right] with θ=13\theta = \dfrac{1}{3} is applied to y′=−2yy' = -2y. What is the largest step size hh for which the iterates do not grow in size?
