9. High Order Schemes for Resolving Waves: Number of Points per Wavelength

10. First derivative f(x)=sin(kx) TEk=c*(Δx)^(p-1)*k^p p is the order of numerical scheme TEk= c*(1/N)^(p-1)*k^p, Δx=1/N If k changes to m, and we want TE to be unchanged. TEk=TEm (1/N)^(p-1)*k^p= (1/a*N)^(p-1)*m^p, a=(m/k)^(p/(p-1)).

11. If p>>0, then a~m/k. So, if m=2k, then the number of grid points is also doubled since a~2. But if p is small, say p=2,then when m=2k, the number of grid points should be multiplied by 4 to insure that TE is unchanged.

12. Higher derivative (1/N)^(p-q)*k^p=(1/a*N)^(p-q)*m^p, a=(m/k)^(p/(p-q)).
