1. Introduction
In the important work of Bramble and Hubbard [1], higher-order difference approximations of order O(h4) are used at interior mesh points for two-point self-adjoint second-order boundary value problems, while lower-order difference approximations are used near the boundary points. The resulting matrix equations are such that the associated matrices A are nonsymmetric, but possess the attractive property that A-1 > 0. Moreover, it is shown that the discretion error is also O(h4).
