High-order finite-difference methods for Poisson's equation

H. J. van Linde

Finite-difference approximations to the three boundary value problems for Poisson's equation are given with discretization errors of 0(h3) for the mixed boundary value problem, 0(A3|ln h\) for the Neumann problem and 0(h*) for the Dirichlet problem, respectively. These error bounds are an improvement upon similar results obtained by Bramble and Hubbard; moreover, all resulting coefficient matrices are of positive type. Again, under general assumptions, a solution, unique except for an additive
