D.15.3.9 central2nd

Procedure from library finitediff.lib (see finitediff_lib).

Usage:
central2nd(U1,U2,var); U1, U2 are the names of occuring derivatives, var is a variable in the basering;

Return:
type vector; gives a predefined approximation of the second-order-central-approximation as often used in literature;

Note:
see also forward,laxfrT,setinitials,scheme;

Example:
 
LIB "finitediff.lib";
list D="Uxx","Ux","Utt","Ut","U";
list P="lambda";
list V="t","x";
setinitials(V,D,P);
central2nd(Uxx,U,x);
==> [(dx^2)*x,0,0,0,-x^2+2*x-1]
central2nd(Utt,U,t);
==> [0,0,(dt^2)*t,0,-t^2+2*t-1]
