Stability analysis of a finite difference scheme using symbolic computation
Abstract
Computer aided symbolic manipulation has previously been used in studies of weakly nonlinear behavior in plasmas. The application of such symbolic manipulation techniques to the study of the stability of a specific finite difference scheme is investigated. Eigenvalue calculations for the Von Neumann matrix are described.
