CONVERGENCE OF AN O(h) CUBIC SPLINE COLLOCATION METHODS FOR ELLIPTIC PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS EN. Houstis, E.A. Vavalis and JR. Rice Purdue University Department of Computer Science West Lafayette, m 47907 CSDTR596 May 15. 1986 AlISTRACT This paper presents a new class of collocation methods using cubic splines for solving elliptic partial differential equations (POEs). The error bounds obtained for these melhods are optimal. The methods are formulated and a convergence analysis is carried out for a broad class of elliptic POEs. Experimental resulls confirm the oplimal convergence and indicate that tlJese methods are computationally more efficient than methods based on either collocation with Hennite cubics or on Galerkin with cubic splines.
