function deriv2 = diff3T_h4(x, dy)
% diff3T_h4 - Estimate of third derivative using Taylor expansion (derived with same method as diffT and diff2T_h4).
%
% Usage:
% deriv2 = diff3T_h4(x, dy)
%
% Parameters:
% x: A vector of x = f(y).
% dy: The resolution of the discrete points in the vector.
%
% Returns:
% deriv2: Estimate of the derivative.
%
% Description:
% d^3 x - x(k-2) + 2 * x(k-1) - 2 * x(k+1) + x(k+2)
% ------- = ---------------------------------------------
% dy^3 12 * dy^3
%
% Note: First and last two values of the deriv vector will contain boundary
% artifacts.
