The numerical solution satisfies
 |
(5.6) |
By the mean value theorem,
for 
Subtracting this from (5.6) and setting
, we get

 |
(5.7) |
Now, if we assume that satisfies a Lipschitz condition in and , as will happen in practice, we get the following bounds:  

and

(by using Lipschitz condition and mean value theorem)
