518 Difference Methods for Solving Nonlinear Equations
Under the boundary conditions
(28)
the elimination method is quite applicable in giving kU
1
. There is no doubt
that its stability is ensured by the condition
k
VJ'(y) > 0.
Indeed, this fact is an immediate implication of an alten1ative form of
writing the governing equation
T k+l ( 1 k 2 T) k+l T k+l k
h2 Y i-1 - VJ (yi) + h2 Yi + h2 Y i+1 =Fi
i = 1, 2, ... , N - 1,
k k k k.
where Fi = VJ(Y) - VJ(Y) - VJ^1 (Y )y and y = y^1.
The rate of convergence of iterations can be evaluated by means of
the difference
k+l k+l.
V; = Yi - Yi'
This can be done bv ., inserting yk. z = if,·+ ~- t. 2. and +J.~1^1 = 1/, ~& + k(i.l l in (27)
I k k+l k+l k. I k k ..
VJ (y) V - T u ;ex = VJ(Y) - VJ(Y) +VJ (y) V + T Y.v.v
and taking into account the basic relation
k k k k
VJ(fJ), VJ(Y) + VJ'(y )(y - y) +! VJ11(fJ)(fJ- y )2
and its corollary
k k k k
VJ(fJ) - VJ(Y) + VJ^1 (Y )(Y - fJ) =! VJ^11 (y) v^2 ,
where y = t +et, U < e < 1. The outcome of this is the equation
