Summary: We investigate an elliptic problem with a boundary condition given by a sum of normal derivative and an elliptic operator in tangential variables (also known as “Venttsel” boundary condition). The differential problem is discretized by a specific finite difference method. Error estimates of the numerical method in the discrete Sobolev space \(W_2 ^1\) are obtained. The rate of convergence in this space is optimal, i.e. it is \(m - 1\) for solutions from \(W_2 ^{m}, 1 < m < 2.5\).For the entire collection see [Zbl 1115.65003].
