The alternative~triangular n1ethod 695
a) An equation of tlie elliptic type with 1nixed derivatives. In that
case we are agree to consider

where~= (~ 1 ,~ 2 ,, .. '~P) is an arbitrary vector and c 1 > 0 and c 2 > 0 are
constants.
In dealing with difference operators on the grid wh at hand such as
p
(53) Ay= L Aa(JY, Aa{JY = ~[(ka(3Yx 13 )x 0 + (kn{3Yx,JxJ'
n,/3=1
we may set up in conformity with problem (50) the difference Dirichlet
problem
(54) Ay=-<p(x), xEwh, y=μ(x), XE/h,
0
and follow established practice: introduce in the space H = SI the operators
A and R acting in accordance with the rules
Ay=-Ay,
0
p
Ry= -A Y = - L Yx 0 x 0 '
a= l
where A is a difference (2p + 1 )-point Laplace operator, and accept instead
of (54) the governing equation Ay = <p, where <p f:- <p only at the near-
boundary nodes. Recall that
(55)
where c 1 and c 2 are constants arising from the ellipticity condition (52).
By analogy with Section 5 the operators Rl and R 2 are specified by
the formulas
