The Construction of Finite Difference Approximations to Ordinary Differential Equations
Creators
Abstract
Finite difference approximations of the form Σ^(si)_(i=-rj)d_(j,i)u_(j+i)=Σ^(mj)_(i=1) e_(j,if)(z_(j,i)) for the numerical solution of linear nth order ordinary differential equations are analyzed. The order of these approximations is shown to be at least r_j + s_j + m_j - n, and higher for certain special choices of the points Z_(j,i). Similar approximations to initial or boundary conditions are also considered and the stability of the resulting schemes is investigated.
