Some properties of difference elliptic operators 285
for any v E H, where
0 0 2
A Y =-A Y = - L Yx" Xa
a:=!
and the constants f; > 0 and 6. > 0 arise from formulae (18) and (19).
As far as vi -Yh = 0, the first Green formula with regard to the operator
A°' v = (a°' vx ) implies that
" x"
where
N1 N2-I
(w,z]i =LL w(i 1 h 1 ,i 2 h 2 ) z(i 1 h 1 ,i 2 h 2 ) h 1 h 2 ,
i1 :=] i2=1
N 1 -l N2
(w, z] 2 = L L w(i 1 h 1 , i 2 h 2 ) z(i 1 h 1 , i 2 h 2 ) h 1 h 2 •
ii =I i2=1
With these representations in view, we have

(Av,v) = L (aavx,, ,vxJ°'.

On the other hand,
By condition (24) we are led to (26) and so it remains only to substitute
0
into (26) the bilateral estimate b II v 112 < (Av, v) < 6. II v 112, which has
been obtained in Section 2. These manipulations permit us to derive (27)
