In the numerics of ordinary differential equations , the local discretization error (or also cut-off error) denotes the error that occurs within a process step from to under the assumption that the data are exact. The local discretization errors are accumulated at this point in the course of the iterative solution up to global errors. The order with which the local discretization error tends to zero when the difference tends to zero is called the consistency order .
