Pattern functional

In the theory of difference schemes with a primary family of schemes the coefficients of a homogeneous difference scheme are expressed through the coefficients of the initial differential equation by means of the so-called pattern functionals the arbitrariness in the choice of these functionals is limited by the requirements of approximation, solvability, etc. There are various ways of taking care of these restrictions. The availability of a primary family of homogeneous difference schemes is ensured by a family of admissible pattern functionals known in advance. 

In Section 3.2 the integro-interpolational method was aimed at constructing the homogeneous conservative scheme (16) with the coefficients a, d and special form (15), namely with pattern functionals such that... 

A primary family of conservative schemes. We spoke above about the family of the homogeneous conservative schemes (17), whose description is connected with some class of pattern functionals j4[ (s)] and C[/(s)]. For... 

Conditions for the second-order approximation (18) imply some restrictions on the pattern functionals j4[fe(s)] and F[/(s)]. In preparation for this, plain calculations give... 

In what follows we deal everywhere with the primary family of homogeneous conservative schemes (16), (17) and (16 ), (17) as well as with linear nonnegative pattern functionals j4[ (s)] and i [/(s)] still subject to conditions (20) and (21) of second-order approximation. 

The accepted view is that the pattern functions v x) and ( ) will be declared to be solutions of the appropriate Cauchy problems... 

Pattern functions so defined possess a number of nice properties (compare with Section 6), so there is some reason to be concerned about this ... 

Pattern functionals are defined in the class of piecewise continuous functions ... 

It is easily seen from (17)-(18) that the exact scheme does not belong to the family of schemes (16)-(17) in Section 2, whose pattern functionals A[j3(s)] and -F[/(s)j depend solely on a single function. In the case of equation (1) with constant coefficients p x) = p — const and q x) = =... 

Here the same pattern functionals A and F are adopted in achieving much progress as was done in Chapter 3, Section 2, making it possible to generate an approximation of order 2. 

Chapters 2-5 are concerned with concrete difference schemes for equations of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic types. Chapter 3 focuses on homogeneous difference schemes for ordinary differential equations, by means of which we try to solve the canonical problem of the theory of difference schemes in which a primary family of difference schemes is specified (in such a case the availability of the family is provided by pattern functionals) and schemes of a desired quality should be selected within the primary family. This problem is solved in Chapter 3 using a particular form of the scheme and its solution leads us to conservative homogeneous schemes.

In Section 1.4 we have established conditions of the second-order local approximation for the conservative scheme (2) with linear nonnegative pattern functionals A.[fc(s)] an d F[f(s)] such as ...
