Numerical Methods For Ordinary Differential Equations - Analysis

Analysis

Numerical analysis is not only the design of numerical methods, but also their analysis. Three central concepts in this analysis are:

  • convergence: whether the method approximates the solution,
  • order: how well it approximates the solution, and
  • stability: whether errors are damped out.

Famous quotes containing the word analysis:

    “A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
