5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What ensures that the local error of a numerical method approaches zero as the step size decreases?
Think about the error shrinking property.
What type of stability applies to methods like Backward Euler?
Recall the highest level of stability definition.
What does consistency in a numerical method refer to?
Think about the shrinking error concept.
True or False: A-stability guarantees that numerical methods are stable for Re(λ) < 0.
Recall the definition of A-stability.
Consider a numerical method that is consistent but unstable. Describe what issues may arise when solving a stiff ODE with this method, and propose a solution to avoid those issues.
Think about the nature of stiffness in ODEs and how certain methods cope.
Analyze the difference in stability regions for Euler's Method and Backward Euler. Use a graphical representation to illustrate your point.
Graphically represent complex plane regions that define where R(z) holds.
