In this paper, the numerical stability of a partial differential equation with piecewise constant arguments is considered. Firstly, the θ -methods are applied to approximate the original equation. Secondly, the numerical asymptotic stability conditions are given when the mesh ratio and the corresponding parameter satisfy certain conditions. Thirdly, the conditions under which the numerical stability region contains the analytic stability region are also established. Finally, some numerical examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical results.
