Abstract

It has been observed for some time that the standard (classical) discretization methods of differential equations often produce difference equations that do not share their dynamics.

This chapter concerns itself with those numerical schemes that produce difference equations whose dynamics resembles that of their continuous counterparts. The most fruitful methods are those of Mickens [29] (for asymptotically stable systems) and of Kahan [16] (for periodic systems).
