SUMMARY
The truncation error of the Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method is confirmed to be second order in space and first order in time at the sample points. Specifically, the Douglas ADI method exhibits second order spatial truncation error, while the temporal truncation error is only second order at midpoints between spatial sample points. This distinction is crucial for applications requiring precise multi-dimensional solutions, as it affects the overall accuracy of the method.
