Popis: | In this paper we are concerned with the study of spectral properties of the sequence of matrices { A n ( a ) } coming from the discretization, using centered finite differences of minimal order, of elliptic (or semielliptic) differential operators L ( a , u ) of the form (1) - d d x a ( x ) d d x u ( x ) = f ( x ) on Ω = ( 0 , 1 ) , Dirichlet B.C. on ∂ Ω , where the nonnegative, bounded coefficient function a ( x ) of the differential operator may have some isolated zeros in Ω ¯ = Ω ∪ ∂ Ω . More precisely, we state and prove the explicit form of the inverse of { A n ( a ) } and some formulas concerning the relations between the orders of zeros of a ( x ) and the asymptotic behavior of the minimal eigenvalue (condition number) of the related matrices. As a conclusion, and in connection with our theoretical findings, first we extend the analysis to higher order (semi-elliptic) differential operators, and then we present various numerical experiments, showing that similar results must hold true in 2D as well. |
