convergence

convergence, an Octave code which is given a sequence of approximation errors and estimates the order of convergence, assuming the results correspond to a a sequence of decreasing mesh sizes h, or increasing mesh counts n.

differ, an Octave code which is given function values at equally spaced locations, and the order of a derivative, and uses the finite difference method (FDM) to compute a linear combination of these function values which approximates that derivative.

fd2d_convergence_test, an Octave code which calls fd2d_poisson(), which repeatedly solves a Poisson equation on a sequence of finer meshes, so that the relationship between mesh size H and error norm E can be explored.
