Abstract
We formalize the transfer of essential properties of the solution of a differential equation to the solution of a discrete scheme as qualitative stability with respect to the properties. This permits us to motivate some rules (viz. on the order of the difference equation, on the renormalization of the denominator of the discrete derivative, and on nonlocal approximation of nonlinear terms) used in the design of nonstandard finite difference schemes. Extensions of some models are considered, and numerical examples confirming the efficiency of the nonstandard approach are provided. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
