It is shown that the one‐ and two‐dimensional cubic maps can be considered as formulae for the determination of approximations for the solution v = v (t) of the differential equation d v /dt = ‐ v ( v 2 ‐ 1) established with the polygon and mixed polygon method. Periodical and irregular behaviour of the iterates v k of these formulae occur because of the weak stability of these methods, due to too large integration steps, and as a result of starting errors. These properties of the iterates v k are properties of the numerical errors ϵk = v(t k ) − v k , too.
