Problem Solution

[edit | edit source]

The error for the Simpson's Composite rule, can be expressed as follows:


This error can be rewritten as follows:


This can be expressed by using the Composite Simpson's rule and dividing the interval 'a' to 'b' into smaller intervals, the error can be expressed as follows:


In this manner the error for simple Simpson's rule can be used to describe the error as follows:



Using this expression the error can then be expressed as follows:

Part 2:Numerical determination of power of h

[edit | edit source]

In order to verify the power of in the error, data from Problem 8 of HW1 is used.

In the case of a Semilog plot [log(y) vs x], a straight line has an equation of the form


such that .From the above equation it is seen that if the plot on a semilog graph is a straight line then the relationship between the two variables is exponential.


A log-log plot(log(y) vs log(x)) is a similar plot, for which the equation is of the form


 


such that, .It is readily seen that the slope of the line in the log-log graph is the power of the x variable.

Further reference on the theory of semilog and log plots and methods to fit curves is given below:

  1. Semilog plot [[[w:Semi-log_graph]]]
  2. Log-Log plot [[[w:Log-log_graph]]]
  3. Methods of fitting curves in MATLAB for power and exponential series [[1]]

This discussion is used in the interpretation of the graphs given below.

First we plot a semilog graph for the data. The graph is shown below:



The graph is not a straight line which implies that the relationship between and is not exponential. Hence we plot a log-log graph as below:



This is seen to be linear. A straight line if fitted to the data the equation of which is given above. From the discussion above, we see that the slope of line is 2.1447 which is very close to the analytical value of 2.

Thus, plotting the log-log graph as below,


we see that the slope of the line is 4.0881 which is very close to the analytically determined value of 4.

Given below is the data for the Taylor series method. can be defined for the taylor series as but since is not used explicitly in the Taylor series method,it might be of interest to observe how error depends on ,the number of terms of the series. Given below are the plots.Semilog plots and log-log plots can be made of error vs h much like the ones given above, but no linearity is shown in both.

From this plot it is clearly seen that minimizing the error does not require an infinite series.The error curve is asymptotic and it can be seen that 8 terms gives a very low error.

Problem 5: Romberg Table

[edit | edit source]

Problem Statement

[edit | edit source]

Pg. 19-2 (cont'd on Pg. 6-5)

a) Modify the code to make the computation of T(2^j) efficient;

b) Add Romber Table and compare with previous results.

Problem Solution

[edit | edit source]

a) Modified code

    function [I1,I2,T1] = trapzoid(f,a,b,n)
    h=(b-a)/n;
    x=linspace(a,b,n+1);
    fx=feval(f,x);
    I1=h*(fx(1)/2+sum(fx(2:1:n))+fx(n+1)/2);
    n=2*n;
    h=(b-a)/n;
    x=linspace(a,b,n+1);
    fx=feval(f,x);
    I2=I1/2+h*sum(fx(2:2:n));
    T1=(2^2*I2-I1)/(2^2-1);
    %call function
    %I1=To(4),I2=To(8), and T1=T1(4)
    format long
    [I1,I2,T1]=trapzoid(@(x) (exp(x)-1)./x,eps,1,4)

b) Romberg Table

Convergence is achieved much faster than the composite trapezoidal rule.
