 | Dear all,
First we have an ODE system
dx/dt = f(x), x belongs to R^n. There exists a unique globally asymptotically stable fixed point.
If we do a smooth approximation by a discretized system,
x(t+1) = (1-b(t))*x(t) + b(t)*f(x(t)), where b(t) is small.
Then within a finite time, can we give an upper bound of the distance between ODE and the discretized system above? I was told that this distance should go to zero if the b(t) is very small everywhere. Can somebody give me a reference of this statement? Btw, if we take the form b(t) = 1/t, can we get an upper bound of the difference?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Fan
