On the convergence of finite difference scheme for elliptic equation with coefficients containing Dirac distribution
Boško S. Jovanović, Lubin G. Vulkov

Abstract

First boundary value problem for elliptic equation with youngest coefficient containing Dirac distribution concentrated on a smooth curve is considered. For this problem a finite difference scheme on a special quasiregular grid is constructed. The finite difference scheme converges in discrete $W_2^1$ norm with the rate $O(h^{3/2})$. Convergence rate is compatible with the smoothness of input data.
