  2. Finite difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference

    In an analogous way, one can obtain finite difference approximations to higher order derivatives and differential operators. For example, by using the above central difference formula for f ′(x + ⁠ h / 2 ⁠) and f ′(x − ⁠ h / 2 ⁠) and applying a central difference formula for the derivative of f ′ at x, we obtain the central difference approximation of the second derivative of f:

    For arbitrary stencil points and any derivative of order < up to one less than the number of stencil points, the finite difference coefficients can be obtained by solving the linear equations [6] ( s 1 0 ⋯ s N 0 ⋮ ⋱ ⋮ s 1 N − 1 ⋯ s N N − 1 ) ( a 1 ⋮ a N ) = d !
