On numerical solution of ordinary differential equations with discontinuities. (English) Zbl 0671.65061
The author considers the initial value problem for the system of ordinary differential equations (1) $$y'=f(t,y)$$, $$y(a)=y_ 0$$ on $$I=<a,b>$$ where the function f is of Caratheodory’s type and satisfies the Perron condition. A bounded function x is a solution of (1) if it is absolutely continuous on I, satisfies the initial condition and the equation almost everywhere on I. Let h be, as usually, the step size and let v(i,h) be an arbitrary sequence (may be generated by a one-step method). Sufficient conditions for convergence of v to the solution x and sufficient conditions for the order of convergence to be $$O(h^ p)$$ are formulated.
