Difference schemes for the equation of vibrations of a string 369
By relating the initial conditions y^0 = u 0 and y~ = (y^1 - y^0 )/r = u 0 (x)
to hold for sum (11) we establish the relationships for determining the
coefficients Ak and Bk:
cos <pk - 1 B sm <pk
Ak T + k T
making it possible to find that
(13)
1 - COS 'Pk T _
Bk = llok + llok ·
sm 'Pk sm 'Pk
Having substituted Ak and Bk into (11), we are led by rninor changes to
. N-1( ~ cos (. J - 2 1) 'Pk
YJ = ~ i llok

+. T sin j<pk llok _ ) ){ (k)( x ).

After the first stage the estimate of 11 yj 11 for scheme ( 4a) will be
derived for O" = 0 relating to the scheme
(15) Ytt = Ay, Yo=YN=O, y(x,O)=u 0 (x), Yt(x,0)=u 0 (x).
In that case
O:k -- 2 1 T 2 \ "k -- μk > cos 'Pk = 1 - μk '
When the steps of the grid whT are related by
(16)
T^2 1

where E > 0 is an arbitrary number, we find that

yielding

By virtue of the relations
