1. This homework is due on March 1, 2012, 4:00 PM. 2. Please provide the detailed work (including the schemes as well as results) and attach your computer codes. See the guidelines for detailed grading policy. The MATLAB code bvp2d-fd-example.m solve the Poisson problem on a square (M + 1) (M + 1) grids with hx = hy = h, using the 5-point Laplacian. It is set up to solve a test problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the domain [0, 1]2 . 1. For the Poisson problem y 5 exp(x + ), (x, y) = [0, 1]2 , 4 2 y y u(0, y) = exp( ), u(1, y) = exp(1 + ), y [0, 1], 2 2 1 u(x, 0) = exp(x), u(x, 1) = exp(x + ), x [0, 1]. 2
