Operator-difference schemes 393
where y 0 is given. If a scheme with a constant transition operator Sis stable
with respect to the initial data, then it is uniformly stable with respect to
the initial data, since

Theore1n 4 The stability wilh respect to the initial data of scheme (25)
with constant operators is necessary and sufficient for the stability with
respect to the right-hand side, provided condition (24) of the norm of con-
cordance holds. Moreover, in that case a priori estimate (20) is valid.
Sufficiency. The stability with respect to the initial data means the
boundedness of the resolving operator
(27)
In accordance with what has been said above, this implies condition (19)
and so it remains to use Theorem 1.
Necessity. Let scheme (25) be stable with respect to the right-hand
side, meaning the validity of the inequality for the solution of problem ( 4b)

This estimate holds true for any right-hand side Jj = B-^1 <pj. This provides
enough reason to conclude from (17) that

The assertion will be proved if we succeed in showing that property
(27) is true. Choosing T fj = bj,o we deduce from (29) that
and
II Yn+l 11(1) < II Tn,0 II · II f 11(1) ·
On the other hand, (28) yields II Yn+l 11(1) < M 1 11 f llcir Comparison of
these inequalities gives (27), from which the stability with respect to the
initial data immediately follows.
