Asymptotic Expansions for the Discretization Error In Poisson’s Equation on General Domains

  • Chapter
Book cover Multivariate Approximation Theory

Abstract

In this paper we modify the usual five-point-difference discretization near the boundary of a general domain as to guarantee the existence of an asymptotic expansion. We generalize and improve results due to Gerschgorin [9], Collatz [8], Mikeladse [11], Wasow [14] and Pereyra-Proskurowski-Widlund [12].
