Abstract

A grid analog of the formula of integration by parts is constructed and studied for a two-dimensional case in which one of the grid functions is defined at nodes, and the second function is defined at the midpoints of the sides of cells of a simplicial grid in the Cartesian and cylindrical systems of coordinates. Grid analogs of such first-order differential operators as the gradient, divergence, and curl operators, can be naturally defined using this formula.
