FINITE DIFFERENCE METHODS
FOR SOLVING PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

As the speed of the computer has been increasing, on has attached still more complicated problems. However, many of these problems have turned out to be very time consuming. In such cases it is desirable to construct more efficient difference methods.

The interest in this problem and related subjects during the last years led to a seminar on the stability of difference schemes, which was organized in 1965-1966 at the Mathemtisch Cenctrum at Amsterdam under the supervision of Prof. dr. N. A. Lauverier and Prof.dr.ir. A. van Wihngaarden. The present monograph presents the worked-out lectures given by the author at this seminar.
