holds.
In the case of a variable operator A= A(t) it is required, in addition,
that A( t) is Lipshitz continuous int, allowing the operator R to be constant.
In the situation when the operators R 0 , are pairwise commutative, the
stability of the primary scheme implies that of the factorized sche1ne (39),
since Qp > 0, B = E + 2 r^2 Ql' > E and R. = R + T Qp, giving

Let us stress that the well-founded choice of the regularizer R is in
complete agreement with an approved principle governing what can happen
and depends on the range of situations to be considered. This is certainly
so with two-layer and three-layer sche1nes and, therefore, one and the same
regularizer R could be useful and perceived to be useful for different oper-
ators A.
Example 4 By having recourse to problem (23) associated with the heat
conduction equation with variable coefficients for the same choice of the
operators A, R 1 and R 2 as in Example 1 for the two-layer economical
scheme (24) we concentrate on the primary scheme (36)
yo t + T^2 R Ytt +A Y = cp,
which generates an approximation of order 2 and possesses the residual
·,P = O(r^2 + lhl^2 ). This schen1e is stable for u > (1 + s)/4. Observe that
the factorized scheme of the type (39) with the inembers
turns out to be absolutely stable for u > (1 + s)/4, s > 0. This is clue to
the fact that the operators R 1 and R 2 are commuting.
Also, the operator A(t) will be Lipshitz continuous if we agree to
consider
l(au) 1 I < c 3 a 0 ,, c 3 = const > 0, CY= 1, 2.
