On the discretization of a partial differential equation in the neighborhood of a periodic orbit

Sumamry This article is concerned with the comparison of the dynamic of a partial differential equation and its time discretization. We restrict our attention to the neighborhood of a hyperbolic periodic orbit. We show that the discretization possesses an invariant closed curve near the periodic orbit and that the trajectories of the semigroups defined by the partial differential equations and its approximation are close in a sense to be precised provided that different data are allowed. This answers partly an open problem posed in [4]. Examples of application to dissipative partial equations are provided.
