582 Economical Difference Sche1nes for Multidiinensional Proble1ns
Having replaced the operator E + r^2 ( R1 + R 2 ) by the factorized op-
erator (E + r^2 R 1 ) (E + r^2 R2), where R<,y = -(} Y:rc""", Cl'= 1, 2, we obtain
under such an approach the economical difference scheme
YI, = μ, y(x, 0) = u 0 (a:), Yt(x, 0) = u 0 (x),
with u 0 = u 0 + 0 .5 r( Lit + f) It =Ll incorporated. This scheme is of second-
order accuracy in T and lhl. vVhat is more, it is absolutely stable and
appears prefera.ble in practical implen1entations.
- Economical schemes for a syste1n of equations of parabolic and hyperbolic
types. Let G = {O < xn < lcr, Cl'= 1,2, ... ,p} be a parallelepiped in the
space RP,
Qr = (; x [O < t < T] , Qr = G x (0 < t < T]
and k = (ko:/3) = (k~^1 3), s, 1n = 1, 2, ... , n, be a matrix of size p x p with
square blocks of size n x n satisfying the condition of symmetry

to being strongly elliptic of the operator L with the values
