Optimal Finite Analytic Methods

Abstract
A new method is proposed for obtaining finite difference equations for the solution of linear partial differential equations. The method is based on representing the approximate solution locally on a mesh element by polynomials which satisfy the differential equation. Then, by collocation, the value of the approximate solution, and its derivatives at the center of the mesh element may be expressed as a linear combination of neighbouring values of the solution.
