The coefficient a. can be taken on the middle layer t = tj.
Substituting y = y + ryt + 0.5T^2 Yrt and y = y - ryt + 0.5T^2 Yrt, where
yo t = (y - y)/(2r) and Ytt = (y - 2y + y)/r^2 , into (5) yields

which will be given special investigation in the sequel.
Before going (urther, we must append to (7) the initial and boundary
conditions. These depend on the range of variables; thus, the boundary
conditions and the first initial condition are specified exactly:
( 8) y( 0, t) = 1l 1 ( t) , y( 1, t) = 1l 2 ( t) , y( x, 0) = v 0 ( x).
There are two ways of approximating the second initial condition
