Ho1nogeneous difference schemes for the heat conduction 461
The starting point is the balance equation written in the rectangle
{x;_ 112 < x < X;+ 1 ; 2 }, tj < t < tj+I with regard to the governing equation
OU
Ft= Lu+ f(x, t), Lu= ox o ( k(:r) ou) ox.
The outcome of this is

where ~ designates approxin1ation, IJ is a numerical parameter and the
coefficients a; are expressed through the values of k(x) for X;_ 1 < x < X;
by means of pattern functionals A[k(s)], -1 < s < 1, so that
a( x;) = a; = A [ k( X; + sh)] or

Here A[k(s)] is linear nondecreasing functional, for which the conditions
A[l] = 1 and A[s] = -0.5 hold.
