“…The difference schemes built on different templates are compared based on the model problem of the plane acoustic wave diffraction on the parabolic cylinder, and the use of five-point difference scheme by the spatial variable with the threepoint scheme by the time variable is proposed. This type of problem was considered earlier (Formalev et al, 2015(Formalev et al, , 2016a(Formalev et al, , 2016c(Formalev et al, , 2016b(Formalev et al, , 2017a(Formalev et al, , 2017b(Formalev et al, , 2018b(Formalev et al, , 2018cKolesnik et al, 2015;Formalev and Kolesnik, 2016Okonechnikov et al, 2016;Prokofiev et al, 2016;Babaytsev et al, 2017;Gidaspov and Severina, 2017;Lurie et al, 2017;Bulychev et al, 2018aBulychev et al, , 2018bBulychev et al, , 2018cKuznetsova et al, 2018).…”
