Discretization error estimates in maximum norm for convergent splittings of matrices with a monotone preconditioning part.

For finite difference matrices that are monotone, a discretization error estimate in maximum norm follows from the truncation errors of the discretization. It enables also discretization error estimates for derivatives of the solution. These results are extended to convergent operator splittings of the difference matrix where the major, preconditioning part is monotone but the whole operator is not necessarily monotone.
