Title: Numerical instabilities in finite-difference models of ordinary differential equations, 1989
Author: Woods, Berietta F.
Decade: 1980-1989
Abstract: We investigate various mechanisms for the occurrence of numerical instabilities in the discrete modeling of ordinary differential equations by finite-differences. The Logistic equation is used to illustrate the three types of numerical instabilities. Our results can be easily generalized to arbitrary first-order differential equations.
