Abstract: | For the multidimensional heat equation in a parallelepiped, optimal error estimates inL2(Q) are derived. The error is of the order of +¦h¦2 for any right-hand sidef L2(Q) and any initial function; for appropriate classes of less regularf andu0, the error is of the order of ((+¦h¦2), 1/2<1.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 60, No. 2, pp. 185–197, August, 1996. |
