Abstract
We systematically derive arbitrary-order finite difference discretizations of linear (pseudo-) differential problems by appropriately approximating the symbols of the (pseudo) differential operators in frequency space. The convergence (i.e., stability and consistency) analysis of the difference schemes is based directly on micro-local properties of the exact and approximating symbols. The analytical approach presented here sheds new light on the general philosophy of finite differences.
