Notes:
The advantages in formulation and use of semi-discretized approaches to the numerical solution of initial/boundary value problems are well known. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that it is feasible to obtain accurate results even with a coarse spatial mesh. A method is developed which produces in a simple manner matrix representations for high-order central difference operators. Dirichlet, Neumann and mixed boundary conditions are considered, both homogeneous and non-homogeneous. It is shown in all cases that, for linear problems at least, there is no need to use a finer mesh than that dictated by the essential frequency content of the initial function data.
