Suppose your stencil only uses nearest and next nearest neighbors on a cubic periodic domain with N lattice points in each direction. Define Im = (1:N)-1;Im(Im==0)=N; and Ip = 2:N+1;Ip(Ip==N+1)=1; Define your system and matrices and use A(lp,lp,lm) $\sim A_{i+1,i+1,i-1}$ in your stencil.

Can I learn further from you?

You are sure you don't want to try yourself first? Also you haven't mentioned which time update algorithm you are using.
