140 Basic Concepts of the Theory of Difference Schemes
In just the same way as before, we write down the boundary condition in
(9) for i = N:
aN+1(YN+1 -yN )-(yN -yN-1)
h2 'f!N l
In such a setting problem (9) turns out to be equivalent to the first boun-
dary-value problem
(58) i=O,l, ... ,N,
where <pi= t.p;, i = 1,2,.. .,N-1, (/; 0 = ~<p 0 , <pN = ~'PN, ai = 1,
i = 1,2, ... ,N and a 0 = hcru aN+i = hcr 2. If y is a solution of problem
(9), then
N-1
[A-^1 <p,<p]=[y,<p]=~h(y 0 t.pa+YN'PN)+ L Yi'Pih

By applying successively formulae (51)-(52) to problern (58) and estimate
(53) we arrive at (55) and (57).
Corollary If cr 2 > c 1 > 0, then operator (54) admits the estimate

- Operator equations of divergent type. We now deal with operators of
the special structure known as divergent or conservative operators:
(60) A= T*ST,
where T, S and T* are linear bounded operators. Operators of this type
are frequently encountered in this book in the approximation of differential
operators having the form Lu = div ( k grad u). Let H be a vector space
