330 Difference Schemes with Constant Coefficients
- Asymptotic stability. Let us describe rathel' mild conditions under which
the behavior of the solution y j of the difference probletn ( 4) becomes regular
if one makes tj = jr large enough:
(6)
Clearly, it is possible only in the case when the first harmonic dominates,
that is, max I qk I is attained for k = 1, so that
k

What is available to find out the conditions ensuring the validity of formula
(7) is the function
.f(μ)= (l-(l-cr)μ^1 )

where μ 1 = TA~ and μ = T AZ > μ 1 under the natural premise .f(μ) > 0,
μ > μ 1 • Alternative forms of the function f(~t) may be chosen in a number
of different ways. In subsequent reasonings we prefer one of them:
f{ = ( 1 + (T μ1 )^2 ( 1 + (T μ )^2 > 0 ,
f 2 (μ)= (l-(1-cr)μ 1 ) (l+crμ)+(l-(1-cr)μ) (1+crμ 1 )
= 2 + ( 2 (T - 1 ) ( μ + μ1) - 2 ( 1 - (T) (T μ μ1 ,
implying for T < f 0 that
if (T -- (^1) ,
if (T = 0 ,
where f. o = 2 (c5 + b.)-^1 ' c5 = Ah 1 and ,6. = Ah N-1. In particular, we have
