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:

    “Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
    —Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
