Heat conduction equation with constant coefficients 313
implying that 1 + O"L\ > E for all k = 1, 2, ... , N - 1 and providing in
combination with (29) the validity of the following estimates:

For O" = O" * the condition O" * < 0 ensures T < t h^2 and the value E = ~
can easily be found from the equation ~ (1 - E) = / 2. Collecting estimates
(24), (31) and (33) and summarizing the preceding results, we deduce the
following assertion.
If the conditions O" > !--1- h^2 T-l = 0" 0 and O" > 0 hold simultaneously,
then scheme (16) is stable with respect to the initial data and the right-hand
side, so that the solution of problem (16) admits the estimate
When O" < 0, for the stability of scheme (16) with respect to the right-hand
side
1 (1-c)h^2
O">--- 2 4T =O" c>
is a sufficient condition. Here E E (0, 1) is an arbitrary constant indepen-
dent of h and T. For such a choice, the solution of problem (16) satisfies
the estimate
For the sche1ne of accuracy O(h^4 + r^2 ) we thus have E = ~and O"* < 0
if T < t h^2.
- Convergence and accuracy in the space L 2 (wh). We state here that the
convergence of scheme (II) follows from its stability and approximation.
The error z = y - u is just the solution of problem (III). Using a priori
estimate (31) behind we deduce that
