Abstract:

In this paper we consider a class of difference approximations to the Dirichlet problem for second-order elliptic operators with smooth coefficients. The main result is that if the order of accuracy of the approximate problem is $\mathcal {V}$, and $F$ (the right-hand side) and $f$ (the boundary values) both belong to ${C^\lambda }$ for $\lambda < \mathcal {V}$, then the rate of convergence is $O({h^\lambda })$.
