Returns arbitrary-order central finite-difference differentiation matrices (sparse) with unit grid point spacing.

Syntax

    D=fdmat(dim,nstenc,order,boundary)

Parameters

    dim       - dimension of the column vector to be
                differentiated

    nstenc    - number of points in the finite diffe-
                rence stencil

    order     - order of the derivative required

    boundary  - 'wall' fills the edges with sided
                finite difference schemes, 'pbc'
                assumes periodic boundaries. The
                default is 'pbc'.

Outputs

    D      - finite difference differentiation matrix

Examples

A three-point second derivative matrix designed to act on a vector with ten elements with periodic boundary conditions is:

 >> full(fdmat(10,3,2,'pbc'))
