502 Homogeneous Difference Schernes for Tirne-Dependent Equations
n1ain idea behind this approach was explained earlier in Chapter 3, Section
4 and Section 1 of the present chapter).
For convenience in analysis, the residual ·i/J is representable by
( 13) 1/J = 7li: + 1/J*,

Apparently, the current situation needs certain clarification. Having inte-
grated equation (1) with respect to x at a fixed moment t = tj from xi-l/ 2
to a;i+1/2

we then divide this identity by !ii' subtract the resulting expressions from
the right-hand side of representation (12) for the residual 1/J and, finally,
get

where the coefficients ai and 'Pi are given for fixed t = tj by the same
formulas as stated in Chapter 3, Section 4.
Let xi be a discontinuity point of both functions k and f. To avoid
cumbersome calculations, the usual practice involves the simplest formulas
for finding ai and 'Pi:
(18) Ji± = f(x; ± 0).
