In this video, we explore the stability of the Forward Euler and Backward/Implicit Euler integration schemes. In particular, we investigate the eigenvalues of these discrete-time update equations, relating the eigenvalues to the stability of the algorithm. This basic stability analysis technique, based on the eigenvalues of the update equation, applies to much more powerful integrators.
