Solution to 2D discrete laplacian on a rectangle












0












$begingroup$


I am attempting to solve the 2D discrete heat equation : Consider a function $f_{i,j}$ with $(i,j)in[0,L+1]^2$. The values of $f_{0,j}$, $f_{i,0}$, $f_{L+1,j}$, $f_{i,L+1}$ are fixed as our boundary conditions. For $(i,j)in[1,L]^2$, $f_{i,j}$ respects begin{equation} 0=f_{i-1,j}-2f_{i,j}+f_{i+1,j}+f_{i,j-1}-2f_{i,j}+f_{i,j+1}end{equation} Is there a simple analytic solution?

    How about expanding the solution in terms of the eigenfunctions of the discrete laplacian?
