Abstract
This paper extends results of Yamamoto et al. (Numer. Funct. Anal. Optimiz. 2008; 29:213-224) to the boundary value problem [image omitted] where the sign of r(x) is indefinite. Let HνAνUν = fν be the finite difference equations on partitions [image omitted], ν = 1,2,… with [image omitted] as ν → ∞, where Hν and Aν are diagonal and tridiagonal matrices, respectively, and fν are vectors generated by discretization of f(x). Then equivalent conditions for the boundary value problem to have a unique solution u ∈ C2[a, b] are given in terms of [image omitted] and [image omitted].
