Abstract
In this article, we apply compact finite difference approximations of orders two and four for discretizing spatial derivatives of wave equation and collocation method for the time component. The resulting method is unconditionally stable and solves the wave equation with high accuracy. The solution is approximated by a polynomial at each grid point that its coefficients are determined by solving a linear system of equations. We employ the multigrid method for solving the resulted linear system. Multigrid method is an iterative method which has grid independently convergence and solves the linear system of equations in small amount of computer time. Numerical results show that the compact finite difference approximation of fourth order, collocation and multigrid methods produce a very efficient method for solving the wave equation. ยฉ 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract This article is devoted to an analysis of simple families of finite difference schemes for the wave equation. These families are dependent on several free parameters, and methods for obtaining stability bounds as a function of these parameters are discussed in detail. Access to explicit
