Foil 11 Central Difference Operator with error O(h2)

From CPS615 Module on Iterative PDE Solvers CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Solve previous equation for 2nd derivative
2 Combine with similar equation in y direction
3 Backward difference operator and forward difference operator are O(h)
4 Higher order operators use more points on the grid (larger stencil) and are more accurate
