Scheme for solving Laplace's (Poisson's) equation

In order to illustrate how we can transform the last equations into a linear algebra problem of the type Ax=w, with A a matrix and x and w unknown and known vectors respectively, let us also for the sake of simplicity assume that the number of points n=3. We assume also that u(x,y)=g(x,y) on the border δΩ.

The inner values of the function u are then given by 4u11u21u01u12u10=˜ρ114u12u02u22u13u11=˜ρ124u21u11u31u22u20=˜ρ214u22u12u32u23u21=˜ρ22.
