The instrument
test_fdcoef.f
implements simple recursions for calculating the weights
of finite difference formulas for any order of derivative and any formal
order of accuracy on one-dimensional grids with unequal spacing.
The core routine,
fdcoef.f
is based on
Bengt Fornberg's
paper "Generation of finite difference formulas on arbitrary spaced grids",
Math. Comp., 51(184):699-706, 1988, and
"Calculation of weights in finite difference formulas", SIAM Rev., 40(3):685b
