The von Neumann method is based on the decomposition of the errors into Fourier series.To illustrate the procedure, consider the one-dimensional heat equation = defined on the spatial interval , with the notation = (,) where are the specific x values, and are the sequence of t values.
Hopkins has since written several verse novels exposing teenage struggles such as drug addiction, mental illness, and prostitution, including Crank, Burned, Impulse, Identical, Glass, Tricks, Tilt, and Fallout.
