A general formulation for discrete-time quantum mechanics, based on Feynman's method in ordinary quantum mechanics, is presented. It is shown that the ambiguities present in ordinary quantum mechanics (due to noncommutativity of the operators), are no longer present here. Then the criteria for the u

In this work, we derive a discrete action principle for electrodynamics that can be used to construct explicit symplectic integrators for Maxwell's equations. Different integrators are constructed depending on the choice of discrete Lagrangian used to approximate the action. By combining discrete La

The existence of a discrete travelling wave is proved for the relaxing scheme. The main idea is to change the original scheme such that the resulting scheme is monotonic to which Jennings' result can be applied. The equivalence of the resulting scheme and the original one is shown when 1/ --1/q. The

We consider a singularly perturbed boundary value problem with two small parameters. The problem is numerically treated by a quadratic spline collocation method. The suitable choice of collocation points provides the discrete minimum principle. Error bounds for the numerical approximations are estab
