Comparison with an exact discrete solution

Best verification.

Compare computed numerical solution with a closed-form exact discrete solution (if possible).

Define A = \frac{1 - (1-\theta) a\Delta t}{1 + \theta a \Delta t} Repeated use of the \theta -rule: \begin{align*} u^0 &= I,\\ u^1 &= Au^0 = AI\\ u^n &= A^nu^{n-1} = A^nI \end{align*}
