Convergence and stability in the numerical approximation of dynamical systems

Abstract

In this article we give an overview of the application of theories from dynamical systems to the analysis of numerical methods for initial-value problems. We start by describing the classical viewpoints of numerical analysis and of dynamical systems and then indicate how the two viewpoints can be merged to provide a framework for both the interpretation of data obtained from numerical simulations and the design of efficient numerical methods. This is done in Section 2.
