Abstract
The authors' recent result on the phase difference for one-dimensional problems in numerically evaluated and discussed in the context of other work directed to this topic. It is shown that previous error estimates in integral norm are of nondispersive character but hold for medium or high wavenumber on extremely refined mesh only. On the other hand, recently proven error estimates on normalized mesh contain a pollution term. With certain assumptions on the exact solution, this term is of the order of the phase difference. Thus a link is established between the results of dispersion analysis and the results of numerical analysis. (AN)Keywords
