文摘IT is known from Brenner, Thomee and Wahlbin that the well-known second-order Lax-Wendroff scheme is stable in L^2, but unstable in L^p, p≠2. Generally speaking, if the initialdata is smooth enough and if a difference scheme, which is stable in L^p for some p, has orderof accuracy μ, then we can expect that the solution of the difference scheme converges to thesolution of the differential equation at the rate of order μ in L^p.
