Abstract

Finite difference schemes have been widely studied because of their fundamental role in numerical analysis. However, most finite difference formulas in the literature are not suitable for discrete time-varying problems because of intrinsic limitations and their relatively low precision. In this paper, a high-precision 1-step-ahead finite difference formula is developed. This 5-instant finite difference (5-IFD) formula is used to approximate and discretize first-order derivatives, and it helps us to compute discrete time-varying generalized matrix inverses. Furthermore, as special cases of generalized matrix inverses, time-varying matrix inversion, and scalar reciprocals are generally deemed as independent problems and studied separately, which are solved unitedly in this paper. The precision of the 5-IFD formula and the convergence behavior of the corresponding discrete-time models are derived theoretically and shown in numerical experiments. Conventional useful formulas, such as the Euler forward finite difference (EFFD) formula and the 4-instant finite difference (4-IFD) formula are also used for comparisons and to show the superiority of the 5-IFD formula.
