Abstract
Ultradiscretization enables us to construct a piecewise linear equation which approximates a given subtraction-free difference equation. Recently proposed “ultradiscretization with parity variables” (pUD) can treat an equation with subtraction. However, its solution may have an infinite number of branches under some specific conditions. In this paper, solutions of pUD for the hard-spring equation is investigated. The pUD equation is reinterpreted as the mapping which maps a set on the phase plane to another one, and the behaviour of the solutions are analyzed through approximative transition diagrams.As a result, the infinite branches are translated into a few finite branches and allowed easier understanding.
