Homogeneous difference schemes for hyperbolic equations 503
Following the procedures of Chapter 3, Section 4 and taking into ac-
count that the second partial derivative ff^2 1l/ ot" is continuous on the line of
discontinuity x = ~ of the functions k( x, t) and f ( x, t), we deduce through
such an analysis that
Because of this, formulas ( 13)-(15) are an immediate i1nplication of formula
(17) with the preceding expansion involved. From representation (14) it
see1ns clear that

1 +r ), 17t; = O(h

- Stability and convergence. No restrictions a.re ma.de regarding the
smoothness of the coefficients and the solution in the further esti1nation
of the accuracy of scheme (7)-(9). This can be done using various a priori
estimates for the operator-difference three-layer scheme

z(O) = 0, zt(O) = JJ.
Here D and A stand for linear operators in a Hilbert space H, z(t) and tf;(t)
refer to abstract functions of the argument t E w 7 with the values in the
space H and vis an element of the space H (for more detail see Chapter 6).

In preparation for this, H = D is the space of all grid functions given on
the grid wh and vanishing on the boundary at the points x = 0 and x = 1.
The usual inner products are defined to be

In the general setting three types of suitable norms are in common
usage:
