Question 1

What distinguishes a well-conditioned problem from an ill-conditioned one?

  • Well-conditioned problems show significant changes in output.
  • Ill-conditioned problems exhibit minor output changes.
  • Well-conditioned problems have minor output changes for minor input changes.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Refer back to how problems respond to small inputs.

Question 2

True or False: A stable algorithm will maximize error growth.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what stability means in algorithmic terms.
