Difference method of increased order of accuracy for the Poisson equation with nonlocal conditions

In a rectangular domain, we consider the two-dimensional Poisson equation with nonlocal boundary conditions in one of the directions. For this problem, we construct a difference scheme of fourth-order approximation, study its solvability, and justify an iteration method for solving the corresponding system of difference equations. We give a detailed study of the spectrum of the matrix representing this system. In particular, we obtain a criterion for the nondegeneracy of this matrix and conditions for its eigenvalues to be positive.
