A basic difficulty in the numerical solution of stiff systems is the satisfying of the requirement of stability. J.C Butcher[1] provided Implicit Runge-Kutta methods(abb;R-K methods) to overcome the stability problem. However for solving the stiff equations by using explicit methods, the author[2] propose variable coefficients Runge-Kutta methods for which we have proved stability for the diagonal system. We will propose the variable coefficients algorithms of order 1 and study the stability analysis for 2-dim system differential equation: \\ $$\dot Y = AY,$$ $$ \quad with\quad A=\left(\matrix{a & b\cr c & d\cr} \right),\quad a,b,c,d \in R. \eqno (1)$$ whose eigenvalues have negative real parts. The methods which we propose are $$ ^{1}y_{n+1} = {^1}y_n + h\;{^{1}k_{1}}+h^2\sum_{i=1}^2{^{1}d_{i}},$$ $$ ^{2}y_{n+1} = {^2}y_n + h\;{^{2}k_{1}}+h^2\sum_{i=1}^2{^{2}d_{i}},$$ $$^{1}k_1 = {^1}f(x_n,^1y_n,^2y_n),$$ $$^{2}k_1 = {^2}f(x_n,^1y_n,^2y_n).$$ Taking the $^id_j,(i,j=1,2)$ suitably, we derive A-stable for some special case in (1). We also present some numerical tests justifying the results. \begin{thebibliography}{99} \bibitem{Butcher} J. C.

If the equation is linear,for example, we study the numerucathe constant coefficients hyperbolic systems. $${\partial u \over{ \partial t}} = \kappa {\partial^2 u \over{\partial x ^2}},\eqno (1)$$ subject to the initial and boundary conditions, $$u(x,0)\;=\;f(x),\quad 0\le x \le 1, u(0,t)\;=\;g_1(t), \;u(1,t)\;=\;g_2(t) \quad t\ge 0.$$ If the discretization of the partial operator is replaced by the difference\\ $${\partial u^2 \over{{\partial t^2}}} \simeq {1\over{k^2}}\{u(x+k,t)-2u(x,t) + u(x-k,t)\},$$ then the equation(1) is repalced by a set of simultaneous ordinary differential equation\\ $$\dot x \;=\;Ax, \eqno (2)$$ Using Any explicit numerical methods of solving equation,the length of time intervals \\ is thus introduced. To overcome those problem, we propose the variable coefficients Runge-Kutta methods (explicit methods); $$ y_{n+1} = y_n + h\sum_{i=1}^rb_ik_i,\quad k_1 = f(x_n,y_n),$$ $$ k_i = f(x_n + c_ih,y_n + h\sum_{j=1}^{i-1}a_{ij}k_j),\;c_i = \sum_{j=1}^{i-1}a_{ij}, \qquad\qquad (i = 2,..,r).$$ where the coefficients $b_i$ is variable. Some numerical test justifying the results are also presented. \begin{thebibliography}{99} \bibitem{ } M.
