Cubic spline iterative method for Poisson's equation in cylindrical polar coordinates (Q764751)

Summary: Using a non-polynomial cubic spline approximation in \(x\)- and finite difference in \(y\)-direction, we discuss a numerical approximation of \(O(k^2 + h^4)\) for the solutions of diffusion-convection equation, where \(k > 0\) and \(h > 0\) are grid sizes in \(y\)- and \(x\)-coordinates, respectively. We also extend our technique to polar coordinate system and obtain high-order numerical scheme for Poisson's equation in cylindrical polar coordinates. Iterative method of the proposed method is discussed, and numerical examples are given in support of the theoretical results.
