Abstract

In this paper we consider asymptotic stability properties of θ-methods for the following pantograph equation: ▪ where a, b, c ∈ C . In recent years stability properties of numerical methods for this kind of equation have been studied by numerous authors who have considered ineshes with fixed stepsize. In general the developed techniques give rise to non-ordinary recurrence relations. In this work, instead, we study constrained variable stepsize schemes, suggested by theoretical and computational reasons, which lead to a non-stationary difference equation. For a first insight, we focus our attention on the class of θ-methods and show that asymptotic stability is obtained for θ> 1 2 . Finally, some preliminary considerations are devoted to the non-neutral and non-stationary pantograph equation.
