Abstract: | We construct two finite difference models for the Airy differential equation. In one model, the form of the complete asymptotic representation of the solution can be found. However, this is not the case for the second model which is based on the use of a nonstandard difference scheme. This scheme leads to a second-order, linear difference equation that is not of a form for which the theorems of Poincaré and Perron can be directly applied to obtain the asymptotic behavior of the solutions. |
