Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 43, No. 167 (Jul., 1984), pp. 69-88 (20 pages) In this paper, the problem of estimating Jacobian and Hessian matrices arising in the finite difference approximation of ...

Finite-difference approximations for the first derivative, valid halfway between equidistant gridpoints, are in general much more accurate than the corresponding approximations, which are valid at ...

THE last edition of Boole's “Finite Differences” appeared in 1880, and was in fact a reprint of the edition of 1872. The interval of sixty years has seen in the elementary field Sheppard's ...
