Why does multiplying two first derivative finite difference matrices not give the matrix for...

The finite difference matrix for the first derivative is $\begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix}$. The finite difference matrix for the second derivative is $\begin{bm …

Numerically solving generalized eigenproblem with Neumann conditions

I am interested in finding the eigenvalues/eigenfunctions of problems such as $$ \partial_{xx} u = \lambda \partial_{yy} u, $$ which can be solved as the generalised eigenvalue problem $$ \mathbf{A …

Correct eigenfunctions of Laplace operator by Finite Differences

I am trying to compute the eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator, i.e. finding $u$ in $$ -\nabla^2 u = \lambda u .$$ For now I am trying to do this in 1D, so $$ \nabla^2 = \partial_{xx} .$$ I am …
