Question 1.
What is Local Truncation Error?
Show hintHide hint
Think about errors in a single computation step.
Question 2.
What is the order of the Local Truncation Error for a 2-step Adams–Bashforth method?
Show hintHide hint
Recall how the order is related to the number of steps.
3Question 3.
What is Local Truncation Error for k-step methods?
- O(h^k)
- O(h^(k+1))
- O(h^(k-1))
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the error per step.
4Question 4.
True or False: Global Error accumulates throughout the numerical method.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how errors build up.
Question 5.
Calculate the Local Truncation Error for a 4-step Adams-Bashforth method with a given step size.
Show hintHide hint
Examine the general form for k-step errors.
Question 6.
Explain how increasing the step size would impact both Local and Global Error based on theoretical concepts.
Show hintHide hint
Compare with the error equations we've learned.
