Issues with Convergence of Finite Difference Method on Uniform Grid

38 Views Asked by At

I've written some code that carries out the central finite difference equation to solve this poisson system:

$\Delta u(x,y) = f, u(x,y) = g$ in domain $[0,1]^2$.

where $u(x,y) = \cos(4) \cos(4)$ (and hence $\Delta u = -32\pi^2\cos(4) \cos(4)$)

I get this contour plot of my results:Contour plot for N=64 Grid points

And for some reason I have an increasing gridpoint L2 norm as N increases. I know my code is correct as when I test it with any other similar function I get a smooth contour as expected. Would anyone be able to shine some light on what could be going on?
