Coefficients of numerical approximation of differentiation












0












$begingroup$


there is given
$y^prime(frac{a+b}{2}) = alpha y(a) + beta y(b) + gamma y^{prime prime}(a) + delta y^{prime prime}(b) quad quad (dagger)$

we want to find $alpha, beta, gamma, delta$ such that ($dagger$) is as accurate as possible for high degree polynomials and what is error when $|a-b| rightarrow 0$.

I actually don't know where I should start from, any tip?

          You have four adjustable parameters, so should expect to be able to be exact for up to third degree. Let $y=cx^3+dx^2+ex+f$ and plug it and its derivatives into the formula. You get one equation from the terms in each of $c,d,e,f$, so have four equations in four unknowns. There will be a lot of symmetry, so the system will be easy to solve.



          It is even a little easier if you assume $a=-b$ so the center point is $0$. The result will be the same but some of the terms will disappear.

            Because a cubic has four parameters. If you tried with a quartic there would be five equations in four unknowns and you would be unlikely to have a solution.
