 Type-I Laplace Question having 16 boundary points

Ques 1:

Solution: Let u1, u2, u3, u4, u5, u6, u7, u8 and u9 are interior mesh points. First, we find initial values of all u
using SFPF and DFPF.
First Iteration (n=0):
Second Iteration (n=1):

Second Iteration (n=2):

Therefore, we have the iterated mesh points are

 Type-II Laplace Question having 12 boundary points
Questions having 12 boundary points, consist 4 interior points u1, u2, u3 and u4. In this case, to
apply SFPF or DFPF, first we assume some value of any one of the interior point. (For example,
assuming u4=0)
