Compact Difference Schemes on a Three-Point Stencil for Second-Order Hyperbolic Equations

Abstract

Abstract We consider compact difference schemes of approximation order $$4+2 $$ on a three-point spatial stencil for the Klein–Gordon equations with constant and variable coefficients. New compact schemes are proposed for one type of second-order quasilinear hyperbolic equations. In the case of constant coefficients, we prove the strong stability of the difference solution under small perturbations of the initial conditions, the right-hand side, and the coefficients of the equation. A priori estimates are obtained for the stability and convergence of the difference solution in strong mesh norms.
