Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

💡 Hint: Think about the nature of stiffness in ODEs and how certain methods cope.

Question 2

Analyze the difference in stability regions for Euler's Method and Backward Euler. Use a graphical representation to illustrate your point.

💡 Hint: Graphically represent complex plane regions that define where R(z) holds.
