Nonstandard finite-difference schemes for general two-dimensional autonomous dynamical systems

Abstract General two-dimensional autonomous dynamical systems and their standard numerical discretizations are considered. Nonstandard stability-preserving finite-difference schemes based on the explicit and implicit Euler and the second-order Runge–Kutta methods are designed and analyzed. Their elementary stability is established theoretically and is also supported by a numerical example.
