Abstract:

Linear multistep methods for the second order differential equation $y” = - {\lambda ^2}y$, $\lambda$ real, are said to have an interval of periodicity if for a fixed $\lambda$ and a stepsize sufficiently small the numerical solution neither explodes nor decays. We give a very simple necessary and sufficient condition under which a linear multistep method has an interval of periodicity. This condition is then applied to multistep methods with an optimal error order.
