Summary

We consider a spline collocation method for strongly elliptic zero order pseudodifferential equationsp gw Au=f on a cube ω=(0, 1)m. Utilizing multilinear spline functions which are zero at the boundary σω we collocate at the meshpoints inside ω. For classical strongly elliptic translation invariant pseudodifferential operators, we verify the stability of the considered collocation method inL 2(ω). Afterwards, form≦2 and a right hand sidefH 8(ω),s>m/2, we prove an asymptotic convergence estimate.
