Khumalo, Melusi Dynamics of numerics of nonautonomous equations with periodic solutions: introducing the numerical Floquet theory. (English) Zbl 1266.37046 J. Appl. Math. 2013, Article ID 645345, 11 p. (2013). Summary: Nonautonomous systems with periodic solutions are encountered frequently in applications. In this paper, we will consider simple systems whose solutions are periodic with a known period. Their transformation under linearized collocation methods is investigated, using a technique called stroboscopic sampling, a discrete version of the well-known Poincaré map. It is shown that there is an inextricable relationship between AN stability (or BN stability) of the numerical methods and the correct qualitative behaviour of solutions.
