We substitute here Lu= -f and replace L 1 L 2 u by the difference operator.
The outcome of this is
This operator is defined on the nine-point pattern shown in Fig. 16.
The expression for A 1 A 2 u such that
is needed in the estimation of the error of approximation to A 1 A 2 u-L 1 L 2 u
by virtue of the well-established expansion
