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)
