646 Methods for Solving Grid Equations
Also, it will be sensible to deal with the newly formed vectors
j=l,2, ... ,N2-l,
Fj = (P1j, {t2j> ... , μN1-1,j), j = 0, Nz,
and a difference operator C acting in accordance with the rule
(CY1) z = (2y-h;Yx- 1 xJ 2 1 , 0 < i < N1, Yo 1 · = YN 11 · = 0.
Fro1n such reasoning it seems clear that problem (2) in view is tantan1otmt
to the systen1 of vector equations (.3).
Let N2 = 2" for the clarity only. The inain idea behind the cleco111-
position method is the further successive elin1ination from the governing
equations of the vectors Yj with odd numbers and, after this, with even
numbers divisible 2, 4, 8 etc. Other ideas are connected with setting the
following equations for j = 2, 4, 6, ... , N 2 - 2, where N 2 = 2":
Applying the operator C to the second equation and summmg up three
resultant equations yield a revised "short" system
Yo=Fo,
containing only the unknowns with even numbers and involving the mem-
