Abstract

This note is concerned with the convergence of a finite difference scheme to the solution of a second order ordinary differential equation with the right-hand-side nonlinearly dependent on the first derivative. By defining stability as the linear growth of the elements of the inverse of a certain matrix and combining this with consistency, convergence is demonstrated. This stability concept is then interpreted in terms of a root condition.
