Contrex - I don't know if the statement to which you took exception came from someone with little mathematical training or from an expert in initial-boundary value problems in relation to finite difference schemes, as outlined here, for instance >



> because in the latter case the statement actually makes perfect sense. As to the base of -1 on which some dimwit claimed you're operating: that claim can only have come from someone ignorant of the conjugate gradient method, at the very least, and can be safely ignored.
