Abstract.We combine the two ideas of writing high order derivatives coming from Taylor series expansions in terms of the lower order derivatives for a two dimensional test problem, and rewriting the error of the expansions to reinforce diagonal dominance of the resulting system. We develop two techniques using nine equally spaced points and present numerical results.
