492 Hornogeneous Difference Schernes for Time-Dependent Equations
To equation (79) there corresponds the purely i1nplicit (four-point)
homogeneous scheme
(80) p( x Ji) Yt = A( i) y + \0 ,
y(x, 0) = u 0 (x), y(O, t) = tt 1 (t), y(l, t) = u 2 (t),
where the coefficients p and <pare calculated by the same formulas as before
for d and b±. A special structure of the operator A built into this scheme
results in the error of approxi1nation 1/J = 0( T + h^2 ) and may be of help in
achieving this aim.
The maximum principle applies equally well to the estimation of the
problem (80) solution with zero boundary conditions y 0 = YN = 0 in tack-
ling the governing eLJ.Uation in the canonical form
(Pi/T + CYi + f3i + d;) Yi= CYi f!i-1 + f3i iJ.z+1 +Fi,
Fi = Pi Yd T + \0 i , CY·= z a.(u z z - hb-:-)/hz^2 J
The conditions of Theore1n 3 in Chapter 4, Section 2 are easily verified for
this equation, due to which we might have
Substituting here the appropriate expressions for Fi and D; yields
which assures us of the validity of the estimate

This provides enough reason to conclude that scheme (80) converges uni-
formly with the rate 0( r + h^2 ).
