Abstract

We give a theorem on implicit difference functional inequalities generated by mixed problems for nonlinear systems of first-order partial differential functional equations. We apply this result in the investigations of the stability of difference methods. Classical solutions of mixed problems are approximated in the paper by solutions of suitable implicit difference schemes. The proof of the convergence of difference method is based on comparison technique, and the result on difference functional inequalities is used. Numerical examples are presented.
