1. A description of a function that, as its
input changes over a finite interval, its output goes from
stable (steadily increasing or decreasing) to unstable
(oscilating wildly between extreme values). The term might
also be used for successive elements in a discrete sequence or
stepwise approximation of a continuous function. Rather than
becoming unstable, the value may simply tend to positive or
negative infinity.
When calculating such a function or sequence, a computer will
typically suffer overflow.
