The alternative-triangular method 707
where fia = h and h! differ from h only at the near-boundary nodes, the
intention is to use scheme (81) with the members aa(x) - 1 and fia = h,
so that
YI -Yh = p.
In an attempt to adapt here MATM, the functions v 1 (x) and v 2 (x) are
declared to be solutions of one and the same equation
