We set

$\displaystyle Z_{x^{-},i+\frac{1}{2},j} = Z_{x^{+},i+\frac{1}{2},j} = Z_{y^{-},i,j+\frac{1}{2}} = Z_{y^{+},i,j+\frac{1}{2}} = Z_{const}$    

where $ Z_{const}$ is some positive constant, and then choose
$\displaystyle Y_{c,i,j}$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle 2v_{0}c_{i,j}-\frac{4}{Z_{const}}$  
$\displaystyle Z_{c,i+\frac{1}{2},j}$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle 2v_{0}l_{i+\frac{1}{2},j}-2Z_{const}$  
$\displaystyle Z_{c,i,j+\frac{1}{2}}$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle 2v_{0}l_{i,j+\frac{1}{2}}-2Z_{const}$  

The optimal value of $ Z_{const}$ is easily shown to be

$\displaystyle Z_{const} = \sqrt{\frac{2\min_{2(k+p)\hspace{0.05in}{\rm odd}}l_{k,p}}{\min_{i,j}c_{i,j}}}$    

and this leads to the constraint

$\displaystyle v_{0}\geq \sqrt{\frac{2}{\min_{2(k+p)\hspace{0.05in}{\rm odd}}(l_{k,p})\min_{i,j}(c_{i,j})}}$    

for $ i$, $ j$ integer and $ k$ and $ p$ half-integer. As in (1+1)D, this bound is inferior to those obtained using the type I and type II meshes. Because the immittance settings are simpler, however, this form may be preferable, from a programming standpoint.
