In the study of approximate methods for solving ordinary differential equations, an interesting question arises. To state it roughly for a single first order expression, let y0(t) be the solution of the equation

(1.1)

which satisfies the initial condition y(a) = na. Let nb be an approximation to the value of y0 at a later time, t = b.
