Abstract
To study the numerical accuracy for diffusion problems, it is no longer sufficient to consider one sinusoidal wave, as in previous chapters. You must take into account that an arbitrary function, acting as initial condition, can be thought to be built up from a series of sinusoidal functions, which is called a Fourier series. As an example take a block function with length 2L (Fig. 8.1).
