    The authors consider the well-known Shortley-Weller finite difference approximation (known to be of second order) of the Dirichlet problem to the Poisson equation in dimensions 2 and 3. Assuming up to 5 continuous derivatives of the exact solution and using the maximum and a discrete commutativity principle, they show a super-convergence result: the central difference quotients give a second-order approximation to the components of the gradient at the positions of the staggered grid.
