Question 1

What is the definition of consistency in numerical methods?

  • The method remains accurate regardless of step size
  • The local truncation error decreases as step size decreases
  • Stability is guaranteed

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look for the relationship between step size and accuracy.

Question 2

Is a stable method guaranteed to converge?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the Lax Equivalence Theorem.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a numerical method that has a consistent local truncation error but demonstrates growing errors due to rounding each step. Discuss the potential challenges faced in applying this method.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the implications of error growth in larger calculations.

Question 2

Demonstrate the implications of the Lax Equivalence Theorem in practical numerical methods by providing an example of a method that fails to converge due to lack of stability.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on common methods in numerical algorithms and identify characteristics.
