We presemt a discretization method for a generalized von Foerster-type equation in many spatial variables. Stability of finite difference schemes on regular meshes is studied. If characteristic curves are decreasing, there are forward difference quotients applied. Otherwise, the derivatives are replaced by backward difference quotients.
