Multiplication by and summation over give
Thus the recurrence becomes
where
Assuming , the amplification factor of a two-sided one-step stencil is
Iteration gives
If everywhere, the Parseval identity gives
Conversely, if , continuity supplies a neighbourhood on which . Choose nonzero square-integrable Fourier data supported there. Its norm then grows at least as , contradicting boundedness. Hence
This is the one-step Von Neumann stability analysis criterion.
