Discrete approximations to Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians on a half-space and norm resolvent convergence

Abstract: We extend recent results on discrete approximations of the Laplacian in $\mathbf{R}^d$ with norm resolvent convergence to the corresponding results for Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians on a half-space. The resolvents of the discrete Dirichlet/Neumann Laplacians are embedded into the continuum using natural discretization and embedding operators. Norm resolvent convergence to their continuous counterparts is proven with a quadratic rate in the mesh size. These results generalize with a limited rate to also include operators with a real, bounded, and H\"older continuous potential, as well as certain functions of the Dirichlet/Neumann Laplacians, including any positive real power.
