Convergence of numerical approximations to a fourth order boundary value problem

Abstract
A convergence theorem is obtained for numerical methods applied to the plate deflection boundary value problem. It is shown that if an approximation of O(hm ) is used at interior points and at least O(hm-2 )is used at boundary points then the results are O(hm-4 ) provided certain conditions are satisfied. A sixth order method is described in detail.
