Question 1

What is the stability condition for a numerical method?

  • |𝑅(β„Žπœ†)| ≀ 1
  • |𝑅(β„Žπœ†)| > 1
  • |𝑅(β„Ž)| = 1

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, if the stability function is greater than 1, errors will grow.

Question 2

True or False: A stable method guarantees convergence.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the Lax Equivalence Theorem.

Question 1

Derive the stability condition for a modified Euler method applied to the equation 𝑦' = -πœ†π‘¦, where πœ† > 0.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Start by expressing the numerical iteration and finding the corresponding stability function.

Question 2

Apply the Backward Euler method to the equation 𝑦' = -2𝑦 and discuss its properties, leveraging A-stability.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Evaluate the backward difference and its relation to the stability function.
