Hence, 1/; = 0( h^2 +r^2 ) for O" = 2-v'2, satisfying the equation i-0"^2 -O"+ ~ =
- Other ideas are connected with the method of separation of variables,
whose use permits us to look for a solution to equation (10) with zero
boundary conditions Yo = YN = 0 as a sum
N-l
yi = L Tj Xk(x),
k=l
By inserting this expression in (10) we obtain the equation related to Tj:
or, what amounts to the same, rj+^1 = qk Ti, where
Furthermore, adopting arguments similar to those being used for the scheme
with weights we arrive at the chain of the inequalities
with p = maxk I qk I. In the further analysis we shall need yet, among other
things, the formula

where >.;^1 = 4h-^2 sin^2 (7rh/2). In giving it we will show that maxk lqk i 1s
