It is well known that high‐order finite‐difference methods may become unstable due to the presence of boundaries and the imposition of boundary conditions. For uniform grids, Gustafsson, Kreiss, and Sundström theory and the summation‐by‐parts method provide sufficient conditions for stability. For non‐uniform grids, clustering of nodes close to the boundaries improves the stability of the resulting finite‐difference operator. Several heuristic explanations exist for the goodness of the clustering, and attempts have been made to link it to the Runge phenomenon present in polynomial interpolations of high degree.
