We derive a family of sixth-order compact finite-difference schemes for the three-dimensional Poisson's equation. As opposed to other research regarding higher-order compact difference schemes, our approach includes consideration of the discretization of the source function on a compact finite-difference stencil. The schemes derived approximate the solution to Poisson's equation on a compact stencil, and thus the schemes can be easily implemented and resulting linear systems are solved in a high-performance computing environment. The resulting discretization is a one-parameter family of finite-difference schemes which may be further optimized for accuracy and stability. Computational experiments are implemented which illustrate the theoretically demonstrated truncation errors.

The last years have seen an increasing interest in classifying (existence claims in) classical mathematical theorems according to their strength. We pursue this goal from the refined perspective of computational complexity. Specifically, we establish that rigorously solving the Dirichlet Problem for Poisson's Equation is in a precise sense ‘complete’ for the complexity class ${\#\mathcal{P}}$ and thus as hard or easy as parametric Riemann integration (Friedman 1984; Ko 1991. Complexity Theory of Real Functions).
