The authors study the algebraic system obtained by difference approximation of the Gellerstedt problem for the partial differential equation \[ \text{sign} y |y|^m \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} = 0, \quad m=\text{const} > 0, \] in an elliptic domain bounded in the upper half-plain \(y>0\) by a smooth Jordan curve with endpoints \((-1, 0)\) and \((1, 0)\) and in the lover half-plain \(y<0\) by the characteristics of the equation [see \textit{S. Gellerstedt}, Ark. Mat. Astron. Fys. A 26, No. 3, 1-32 (1937; Zbl 0017.35202)]. For solving the discrete boundary value problem, the iterative Seidel process is used. The authors study the convergence of the iterative process to an exact solution. Then the estimate is established for the error and the convergence rate of the iterations.
