We study the convergence of a finite difference scheme that approximates the third initial-boundary-value problem for a parabolic equation with variable coefficients on a unit square. We assume that the generalized solution of the problem belongs to the Sobolev space W s,s/2 2, s≤3. An almost second-order convergence rate estimate (with additional logarithmic factor) in the discrete W 1,1/2 2 norm is obtained. The result is based on some nonstandard a priori estimates involving fractional order discrete Sobolev norms. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 174015]
