- 1.
What defines an A-stable method?
Hint
Think about the conditions for stability.
- 2.
Name one example of an A-stable method.
Hint
Consider implicit methods.
- 3.
Which of the following is characteristic of A-stability?
- Stability for Re(λ) < 0
- Stability only for Re(λ) = 0
- Instability for negative λ
Hint
Recall the definition of A-stability.
- 4.
True or False: All A-stable methods are implicit.
- True
- False
Hint
Reflect on examples you've studied.
- 5.
Analyze an implicit method and determine whether it is A-stable by evaluating its stability function R(hλ). Provide the conclusion and reasoning.
Hint
Start by determining the form of the stability function.
- 6.
Given a stiff differential equation, suggest an appropriate numerical method to solve it and justify why it must be A-stable.
Hint
Think about the nature of stiffness.
