Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to estimate the rate of convergence for some natural difference analogues of Dirichlet's problem for uniformly elliptic differential equations, $$begin{gathered} sumlimits_{j,k = 1}^N {frac{partial }{{partial x_j }}} left( {a_{jk} frac{{partial u}}{{partial x_k }}} right) = F in R, hfill u = f on B, hfill end{gathered}$$ in aN-dimensional domainR with boundaryB. These schemes will in general not be of positive type, and the analysis will therefore be carried out in discreteL 2-norms rather than in the maximum norm. Since our approximation of the boundary condition is rather crude, we will only arrive at a rate of convergence of first order for smoothF andf. Special emphasis will be put on appraising the dependence of the rate of convergence on the regularity ofF andf. |
