Numerical Methods for the Discrete Map $Z^a$

Numerical Analysis 2015-08-25 v2 Complex Variables

Abstract

As a basic example in nonlinear theories of discrete complex analysis, we explore various numerical methods for the accurate evaluation of the discrete map ZaZ^a introduced by Agafonov and Bobenko. The methods are based either on a discrete Painlev\'e equation or on the Riemann-Hilbert method. In the latter case, the underlying structure of a triangular Riemann-Hilbert problem with a non-triangular solution requires special care in the numerical approach. Complexity and numerical stability are discussed, the results are illustrated by numerical examples
