%0 Journal Article %T On supraconvergence phenomenon for second order centered finite differences on non-uniform grids %A Gayaz Khakimzyanov %A Denys Dutykh %J Physics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X In the present note we consider an example of a boundary value problem for a simple second order ordinary differential equation, which may exhibit a boundary layer phenomenon. We show that usual central finite differences, which are second order accurate on a uniform grid, can be substantially upgraded to the fourth order by a suitable choice of the underlying non-uniform grid. This example is quite pedagogical and may give some ideas for more complex problems. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1511.02770v1
