Higher-accuracy sche1nes for Poisson's equation 297
it being understood that for any steps h 1 and h 2 the solution of problem
(12) can be estimated by
llzllc = lly-ullc < MllVill,
where
The estimate so constructed implies the uniform convergence of scheme (9)
with the rate O(lhl^4 ) for any ratio h 1 /h 2.
- The multidi1nensional case. The method for constructing a scheme of
fourth-order accuracy described in Section 1 applies equally well to the case
of several variables, making it possible to compose the difference scheme of
fourth-order approximation

By introducing the space Hh = s:th and the operators Aex by analogy
with the preceding,section we draw the conclusion that the operator
