According to one theorem, one of two conditions for this property is that the unit disk contains all zeros of a certain polynomial, with the unit circle containing only simple zeros. That “root condition” must hold in order for a method to have this property, as proven by Germund Dahlquist. For consistent methods, this property is equivalent to stability, as stated by the Lax equivalence theorem. Practical methods of solving ODEs (“O-D-E’s”) have a form of this property defined by the relation between the step size and the local error at a given point. For the Euler (“OY-ler”) method, this property has a relatively low namesake order and rate. The root test and the ratio test can be applied to a Taylor expansion to find this property’s namesake radius. For 10 points, name this property of methods or series that approach a finite limit. ■END■
