ABSTRACT
In this chapter we study the stability with respect to the initial data and the right-hand side of two-layer and three-layer difference schemes that are treated as operator-difference schemes with operators in Hilbert space. Necessary and sufficient stability conditions are discovered and then the corresponding a priori estimates are obtained through such an analysis by means of the energy inequality method. A regularization method for the further development of various difference schemes of a desired quality (in accuracy and economy) in the class of stability schemes is well-established. Numerous concrete schemes for equations of parabolic and hyperbolic types are available as possible applications, bring out the indisputable merit of these methods and unveil their potential.
