Abstract:

In this paper, we investigate the stability of the trapezoidal method for a class of neutral differential equation with variable delay and obtain the asymptotic estimation of numerical solution with the aid of a functional inequality. The asymptotic estimation is more accurate than asymptotic stability in describing the behaviours of the numerical solution, and gives the upper bound estimates of the numerical solution for the nonstable case.
