Abstract:

In this paper we consider a class of difference approximations to the Dirichlet problem for second-order quasi-linear elliptic operators with mixed derivative terms. The main result is that for this class of discretizations and bounded g (the right-hand side) a solution to the difference equations exists. We also explicitly exhibit a discretization of this type for a class of operators.
