Asymptotic stability 333
and the stability condition T < h^2 /2 also irnplies that T < 2 (D + 6.)-^1. In
the case of a symmetric scheme

and the condition T < h/7r is not burdensome. Thus emerged the typical
relation/= Tjh^2 < l/(7rh),sothat1<10/Jrforh = 0.1and1<100/Irfor
h = 0.01. The first eigenvalue A~ = D of the difference problem concerned

where ~ = Jrh/2. Plain calculations show that
Ah= { 0.97 A^1

for h = 0.1,
for h = 0.01 ,
It is interesting to learn what may happen in dealing with the symmetric
scheme with O" = ~ and one of the possible steps T > T 0 , say T = m T 0 ,
m. > 1? Then max; I qk I is attained for k = N - 1:
Upon substituting here

we get p= e-r.S+r~(r,.S) with
