Properties of differential and approximate finite-difference equations

It is known [see, e.g., \textit{A. Iserles}, IMA J. Numer. Anal 10, No. 1, 1-30 (1990; Zbl 0686.65054); especially pp. 3-9, and \textit{L. Z. Fishman}, Differ. Uravn. 31, No. 4, 613-621 (1995; Zbl 0853.34036)] that certain (implicit) Runge-Kutta methods and explicit Adams-type methods preserve, for sufficiently small \(h>0\), the stability of structurally stable equilibria of the system \(\dot x=f(x,\alpha)\) (with smooth \(f\) satisfying \(f(0,0) =0)\) but that these equilibria may pass through false (spurious) bifurcations. The present paper analyzes the preservation of the stability and the multiplicity of such equilibria for arbitrary \(h\); in addition, sufficient conditions are given in the case of double and triple equilibria when \(h\) is sufficiently small. The results are then extended to scalar delay differential equations with constant delay.
