Abstract
The asymptotic states of numerical methods for initial value problems are examined. In particular, spurious steady solutions, solutions with period 2 in the timestep, and spurious invariant curves are studied. A numerical method is considered as a dynamical system parameterised by the timestep h. It is shown that the three kinds of spurious solutions can bifurcate from genuine steady solutions of the numerical method (which are inherited from the differential equation) as h is varied. Conditions under which these bifurcations occur are derived for Runge–Kutta schemes, linear multistep methods, and a class of predictor-corrector methods in a PE(CE)^M implementation. The results are used to provide a unifying framework to various scattered results on spurious solutions which already exist in the literature. Furthermore, the implications for choice of numerical scheme are studied. In numerical simulation it is desirable to minimise the effect of spurious solutions. Classes of methods with desirable dynamical properties are described and evaluated.
