2.1 Compact Schemes

The compact scheme is used to overcome such a weakness by connecting the derivative at the grid with that at the two neighboring grids, e.g.,
equation156
for the fourth-order scheme, and
equation174
for the sixth-order scheme. The parameters tex2html_wrap_inline544 are determined by requiring the minimum error (Chang and Shirer, 1985).
