The tneaning of the boundary condition (12) is known to us. On the other
hand, condition (13), which assigns the boundary value i), needs certain
clarification. In this way, the difference boundary-value problem (9)~(14)
can be put in correspondence with proble1n (7). The tnethod for solving
this difference problem is mostly based on alternative forms of equations
(9)~(10):

- y -Ai y = F, F=~ y +A~ y + 'P,

To make our exposition more transparent, it is more convenient to introduce
the new members
Y = Yi1i2
and approve the following rule: when one of the subscripts is kept fixed, we
omit it for a while in relevant expressions. This should cause no confusion
and guides a. proper choice of alternative forms of equation ( 15) for later
use:
(16)
i1 = 1, 2, ... , S 1 - 1 .. fJ =fl for i1 = 0, Ni,
(17)
i2 = 1, 2, ... , N2 - 1, y = p for i2 = 0, N2.
