β¦ Synopsis
We define the notion of a Liouvillian sequence and show that the solution space of a difference equation with rational function coefficients has a basis of Liouvillian sequences iff the Galois group of the equation is solvable. Using this we give a procedure to determine the Liouvillian solutions of such a difference equation.

Classical finite difference schemes are in wide use today for approximately solving partial differential equations of mathematical physics. An evolution of the method of finite differences has been the development of generalized finite difference (GFD) method, that can be applied to irregular grids
Approximating convection-dominated diffusion equations requires a very accurate scheme for the convection term. The most famous is the method of backward characteristics, which is very precise when a good interpolation procedure is used. However, this method is difficult to implement in 2D or 3D. Th
