Review text

Numerical computation of differential equations involving polynomial terms often lead to discrete time polynomial difference equations. Stability and asymptotic behaviors of such difference equations are thus important. In this paper, a theorem is proven for \(k\)th-order polynomial finite-difference equations that guarantees the divergence of solutions. A `basin of divergence' is characterized and an order of divergence is provided. The basin of divergence is shown to depend on \(k\) independent parameters. An unconventional compactification method is used. Applications include the multi-step method in the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations, quadratic equations and the Henon map.
