Numerical approximation of the solutions of delay differential equations on an infinite interval using piecewise constant arguments (Q1334564)

The authors investigate the question of whether in the numerical approximation of the solutions of delay differential equations by equations with piecewise constant argument (EPCA) the asymptotic dynamics of the differential equations are preserved. In the authors' method, the delay equation is first replaced by an EPCA and then by a difference equation. Their objective is to relate the qualitative dynamics of these three equations. Results are obtained for autonomous and nonautonomous equations with one or many delays.
