One main issue, when numerically integrating autonomous Hamiltonian systems, is the long-term conservation of some of its invariants, among which the Hamiltonian function itself. Recently, a new class of methods, named Hamiltonian Boundary Value Methods (HBVMs) has been introduced and analysed, which are able to exactly preserve polynomial Hamiltonians of arbitrarily high degree. We here study a further property of such methods, namely that of having, when cast as a Runge-Kutta method, a matrix of the Butcher tableau with the same spectrum (apart from the zero eigenvalues) as that of the corresponding Gauss-Legendre method, independently of the considered abscissae. Consequently, HBVMs are always perfectly A-stable methods. This, in turn, allows to elucidate the existing connections with classical Runge-Kutta collocation methods.
