158 Homogeneous Difference Schemes
Comparision of the resulting expansions with (18) permits us to assign the
values
(21) A[l] = 1, A[s] = -~
by virtue of the relations
A[l + s] + A[s] = A[l] + 2 A[s] = 0,
A[(l + s)2] - A[s^2 ] = A[(l + s)^2 - s^2 ] = A[l + 2s]
= A[l] + 2A[s] = 0.
To decide for yourself whether conditions ( 18) related to schemes (17),
(15^1 ) are met or not, we should take into account that
a(x+h)±a(x)=Cl(x)a(x+h)(-(l ± (

ax) Clx+h)

We contrived to do it and give an answer to this question. When this is
the case, the functional A[k(s)] also satisfies conditions (21). As far as the
