The Exact Formulation of the Inverse of the Tridiagonal Matrix for Solving the 1D Poisson Equation with the Finite Difference Method

Abstract: A new method for solving the 1D Poisson equation is presented using the finite difference method. This method is based on the exact formulation of the inverse of the tridiagonal matrix associated with the Laplacian. This is the first time that the inverse of this remarkable matrix is determined directly and exactly. Thus, solving 1D Poisson equation becomes very accurate and extremely fast. This method is a very important tool for physics and engineering where the Poisson equation appears very often in the des… Show more

“…Depending on the value of the quadruplet of coefficients, nine (9) boundary problems exist: (DD) (ND), (DN), (NN), (RR), (RN), (NR), (DR), and (RD). The first three problems (DD), (ND), and (DN) were solved in [1] and [2]. The problem (NN) leads to a non-regular discretization matrix.…”

“…O N [6]. We propose, here, a new method of resolution, faster and more accurate than that of Thomas; as we have already done for the boundary problem of type (DD) [1], and (ND) or (DN) [2]. This method is based essentially on the exact formulation of the inverse of the matrix RR A .…”
