1  Introduction

Suppose it is required to find a solution of a differential equation (1.1) with the initial condition  in the interval . We divide this interval by  pieces with length  and we will search approximate values  of the solution  at nodes ,  The classical example of such type of methods is the Euler method which consists of the following: an approximate value  of the solution at the point  is obtained from the approximate value  of the solution at the point  by the formula (1.2) where . Therefore  is a linear combination of values of the function and its derivatives at the point . We consider only discrete methods, i.e. methods which define a solution for discrete values of independent variable. A characteristic feature of discrete methods for solution of equation (1.1) is the process of solution consists of repetition of algorithm for obtaining of searching solution  by using known, previously calculated values  and The problem of construction of a numerical algorithm can be separated into three groups:
  1. Local properties of the algorithm.
The problem consists of choosing such a algorithm for calculating of  that the difference  will be minimal. Here  is an approximate value of the exact solution  and  are known. Asymptotic estimation of the algorithm’s accuracy for   is defined by two numbers  and , if   It is supposed that the solution is sufficiently smooth, and parameter  characterize the algebraic degree of exactness. An example of a such algorithm is Euler methods (1.2) for which  and .
  1. Global properties of the algorithm.
The main problem is choosing such an algorithm that does not lead to the accumulation of errors, i.e.   as  
  1. Stability of the algorithm as numerical process.
Some convergent algorithms may be accompanied by numerical instability. Therefore we consider conditions which are guarantee the stability of algorithms.  

2  The problem on construction of difference formulas

  The problem on construction of difference formulas exact for polynomials of degree , we also consider first in algebraic statement. Further as difference formula we mean the following approximate equality (2.1) Here   and  are coefficients of the difference formula. The difference formula of order  is called an implicit if  and an explicit if . The following difference we call the error of the formula (2.2) In the class of differentiable functions defined on the interval , the equality (2.2) defines additive and homogeneous functional  which we call the error functional of the difference formula (2.1). We say that the difference formula is exact for a function  if the difference (2.2) is equal to zero. By another words, functions for which the difference formula is exact form the kernel of the error functional . The problem on construction of difference formulas in algebraic statement for the interval  is as follows: Find coefficients  and  of the difference formula such that the formula becomes exact for all polynomials from the space  for possible large , where  is the space of polynomials of degree . Therefore, the quality of the difference formula will be higher when the dimension of the space of polynomials  is larger Substituting a polynomial   for  in (2.2) we get   Thus, our requirement  for , which is equivalent to the following system of conditions (2.3) is fulfilled in that case when the vectors   are the solution of the system       System (2.3) has a solution if . Now we give known difference formulas constructed by algebraic way. We denote  then the Adams-Bashforth formula has the form   and the Adams-Moulton formula has the form   There are other known formulas, for example, the Nystrom and the Mali-Simpson formulas and others.  

3  The functional statement of the problem. The extremal function of the difference formulas

  Now we go to the functional statement of our problem. We consider functions  which are belong to the Sobolev space   is a Hilbert space of real functions  which are differ for polynomials of degree  and square integrable with derivative of order  on the interval . The inner product in this space is defined as (3.1)   Since the space  embedded to the space  of continuous functions, the error functional of the difference formula is a linear functional     (3.2)   The problem of construction of the difference formula   in the functional statement is to find such a functional (3.2) which has minimal norm in the space . For finding the explicit form of the error functional  we use an extremal function of the given functional, i.e. we use the function  satisfying the equality   It is known that in the work of I. Babuska et al [1] finding of the extremal function  was reduced to the differential equation of order . However, there was not given the solution of the differential equation. Our method of finding  is differ from the method of I.Babuska and allows to find the extremal function explicitly. Problems for construction of cubature and difference formulas in functional statement were considered, for example, in the works [2]-[10],[13],[15]. The norm of a function in the space  is defined as (3.3)   Since the functional of the form   is defined on the space  then we have (3.4)   Since  is the Hilbert space equipped with the inner product (3.1) and corresponding norm (3.3) then applying the Riesz theorem for any linear functional, in particular for the error functional, we find an explicit form of the norm of the functional using a function  which is the Riesz element. By the Riesz theorem for any  the following equalities hold (3.5)     By virtue of (3.1) and (3.5) we obtain the following identity which is true for any function  of the space of infinitely differentiable finite functions (3.6)   By Integrating by parts  times the left hand side of the (3.6) we get         where  is the characteristic function of the interval . Thus, in the space of generalized functions we have the following equation (3.7) The general solution of equation (3.7) is written in the form (3.8)   And in the formula (3.8) the sum   is a polynomial of degree  with overdetermined coefficients  corresponding to the following term   The function  is a fundamental solution of the equation   and it has the form   We consider equation (13) out of the interval . By virtue of (2.3) out of the interval  the expression  is a polynomial of degree , because this function is from  after  times differentiation it becomes zero. For fulfilling the condition  for  it should be   where  is a polynomial of degree So, for any difference formula of the form (2.1) in the space  its extremal function, i.e. its Riesz element is given by the formula   where  is a polynomial of degree . Thus we have proved the following theorem.   Теорема 1  The extremal function of the differential formula (2.1) in the space  is defined by the formula (3.9)    

4  Square of the norm of the error functional

  We know that by Riesz theorem and definition of the extremal function it follows   Hence we get the following theorem.   Теорема 2  Square of the norm of the error functional of the difference formula (2.1) is defined by the formula       On the strength of Theorem 2, using the extremal function and orthogonality conditions (3.4) of the error functional  to polynomials of degree , after some calculations we get     where   It is known that the stability of a difference formula in the sense of Dahlquits, as the strong stability, is only defined by coefficients By this reason our search of the optimal formula is only connected by variation of coefficients   The difference formula with the error functional  in the space  can be characterized by two methods. On the one hand it is defined by coefficients  with conditions (3.4), on the other hand by the extremal function . Now we go to minimization of square of the norm for the error functional  of the difference formula for the given  by coefficients  with conditions (3.4). We apply the indefinite multipliers method of Lagrange. For this we consider the function   Partial derivatives of the function  by  and  equating to zero       This gives the following system of equations (4.1)   (4.2) where       and   The solution of the system (4.1), (4.2) which we denote as ,  is a critical point for the function . From Lagrange method it follows that  are the searching values of the coefficients of the optimal difference formula. They give the conditional minimum to the norm  under the conditions (9). Now we consider the formula (3.9). Taking into account arbitrariness of coefficients of the polynomial , we choose them such that the derivative  coincides with the polynomial  from (4.1). In such a choice for values of the derivative of the extremal function  at points  we get  which follows from the formula (4.1). Therefore, we have proved Babuska’s theorem by algebraic way. Теорема 3  Difference formulas       are optimal if and only if when the function , defined by the formula (3.9), can be selected such that   and   for implicit and explicit formulas, respectively.   As a results for construction of implicit optimal difference formulas it is necessary to solve the following system of linear equations where  are defined from the stability conditions of the difference formula in the sense of Dahlquits and   Определение 1 The difference formula (2.1) is stable in the sense of Dahlquits if all roots  of the characteristic polynomial  satisfy  and roots, for which , are simple [11], [12], [14].   For example,   for Similarly, for the explicit difference formula we have where  are defined from stability of the difference formula and from the equality Here we suppose that the system (4.1), (4.2) is solvable. Its solvability follows from the general theory of Lagrange multipliers. However one can verify solvability directly by algebraic way. From the theory of conditional extremum it is known the sufficient condition in which the solution  gives local minimum to the function  on the monifold (3.4). It consists of positive definiteness of the quadratic form (4.3) on the set of vectors  under the condition (4.4) Here the matrix  has the form   We show that in the considered case the quadratic form  is strongly positive.   Теорема 4  For any nonzero vector   lying in the subspace , the function  is strictly positive.     Proof. From the definition of the Lagrange function  and from equality (4.3) we obtain   Consider the linear functional of the form   If we take into account the condition (4.4) then this functional belongs to the space . Thus, it has the extremal function  which is a solution of the equation   Clearly, that as a  one can get the following linear combination of the shifts of the fundamental solution   Here  is a solution of the equation   Square of the norm of the function  in the space  coincides with the form : Hence clear that for non zero  the function  is strictly positive. It is known that for  the system (4.4) always has a solution, i.e. the matrix  has the right inverse, then the system (4.1), (4.2) has a unique solution.     Теорема 5 If the matrix  has the right inverse then the matrix  of the system (4.1), (4.2) is nonsingular.     Proof. We denote  the matrix of the quadratic form (4.3). We write homogeneous system corresponding to the system (4.1), (4.2) in the following form: (4.5) We show that a unique solution of (4.5) is identical zero. Let  be a solution of (4.5). We consider the following functional for the vector :   It is clear that this functional belongs to the space . As a extremal function for  we take the following   This is possible, because, the function  belongs to the space  and is the solution of the equation   The first  equations of the system (4.5) mean that the function  vanishes at all nodes of the difference formula, i.e. for   Then with respect to the norm of the functional  in  we have   that is possible only for  Taking this into account, from first  equations of the system (4.5) we obtain (4.6) By assertion of the theorem the matrix  has the right inverse, then  has the left inverse matrix. Hence and from (4.6) it follows that that the solution  also is zero. Theorem is proved.   Thus, the system (4.1), (4.2) has unique solution.     References     [1]  Babuska I., Vitasek E., Prager M.  Numerical processes for solution of differential equations: – Mir, Moscow, 1969, 369 p.     [2]  Babuska I., Sobolev S.  Optimization of numerical methods.: – Apl.
