From here the components of the vector w(a)' cY = 1,2, ... ,p, can
be recovered independently, since the operators Da = E + r^2 Ra possess
diagonal matrices of coefficients with diagonal blocks.
9.3 THE SUMMARIZED* APPROXIMATION METHOD
- The problem state1nent. First of all, it should be noted that it is impos-
sible to generalize directly the alternating direction n1ethod for three and
more measuren1ents as well as for parabolic equations of general form. Sec-
ond, econon1ical factorized sche1nes which have been under consideration in
Section 2 of the present chapter are quite applicable under the assumption
that the argument x = ( x 1 , x 2 , ..• , xp) varies within a parallelepiped.
Because of this, there is a real need for designing the general method,
by means of which economical schen1es can be created for equations with
variable and even discontinuous coefficients as well as fo1· quasilinea1· non-
stationary equations in complex domains of arbitrary shape and diniension.
As a inatter of experience, the universal tool in such obstacles is the method
of smnnicuized approximation, the framework of which will be explained a
little later on the basis of the heat conduction equation in an arbitrary
domain G of the din1ension p with the boundary r
