SummaryWe consider the numerical solution of the nonlinear initial value problem $$x' + g\left( x \right) = f\left( t \right), t > 0, x\left( 0 \right) = c \in R^n$$ by some linear multistep methods. We show that ifg is monotone andx(t) is smooth enough at infinity, then the global error tends to a trigonometric polynomial asn h → ∞ with step sizeh fixed. Often the trigonometric polynomial vanishes identically.
