By insertmg now b vs = -cr 1 Tb gss and b 17 = 0.5TO v 8 we deduce

provided the condition (a+ cr 1 ) ~ - cr 117 > 0 holds. The meaning of this is

When the pressure is prescribed for i = 0 and i = N, the boundary

After scrutinising the canonical form of equation (53) with respect to
k+l
b g ( s.,)
A(P) y(P) = B(P, Q) y(Q) + F(P)
QEIII'(P)
we can be pretty sure that
A(P) > 0, B(P, Q) > 0, D(P) = A(P) - B(P, Q) = 1.
QEIII'(P)
This serves to motivate the validity of the maxi1num principle with regard
to equation (58) supplied by the homogeneous boundary conditions ( 55).
By utilizing this fact it is plain to show that the estimate holds:

whence it follows that the iterations converge under either of the following
