Answer:

Question:-01

Which of the following statements are true and which are false? Give a short proof or a counterexample in support of your answer:
i) The equation x 3 4 x 16 = 0 x 3 4 x 16 = 0 x^(3)-4x-16=0\mathrm{x}^3-4 \mathrm{x}-16=0x34x16=0 has a root in the interval [3, 4].

Answer:

Answer:

To determine if the equation x 3 4 x 16 = 0 x 3 4 x 16 = 0 x^(3)-4x-16=0\mathrm{x}^3 – 4\mathrm{x} – 16 = 0x34x16=0 has a root in the interval [3, 4], we can apply the Intermediate Value Theorem. This theorem states that if a continuous function f ( x ) f ( x ) f(x)f(x)f(x) changes sign over an interval, there must be at least one root within that interval.
Let f ( x ) = x 3 4 x 16 f ( x ) = x 3 4 x 16 f(x)=x^(3)-4x-16f(x) = \mathrm{x}^3 – 4\mathrm{x} – 16f(x)=x34x16. Evaluate f ( x ) f ( x ) f(x)f(x)f(x) at the endpoints of the interval:
  • f ( 3 ) = 3 3 4 3 16 = 27 12 16 = 1 f ( 3 ) = 3 3 4 3 16 = 27 12 16 = 1 f(3)=3^(3)-4*3-16=27-12-16=-1f(3) = 3^3 – 4 \cdot 3 – 16 = 27 – 12 – 16 = -1f(3)=334316=271216=1
  • f ( 4 ) = 4 3 4 4 16 = 64 16 16 = 32 f ( 4 ) = 4 3 4 4 16 = 64 16 16 = 32 f(4)=4^(3)-4*4-16=64-16-16=32f(4) = 4^3 – 4 \cdot 4 – 16 = 64 – 16 – 16 = 32f(4)=434416=641616=32
Since f ( 3 ) = 1 < 0 f ( 3 ) = 1 < 0 f(3)=-1 < 0f(3) = -1 < 0f(3)=1<0 and f ( 4 ) = 32 > 0 f ( 4 ) = 32 > 0 f(4)=32 > 0f(4) = 32 > 0f(4)=32>0, and f ( x ) f ( x ) f(x)f(x)f(x) is continuous (as it is a polynomial), the function must cross zero at least once in [3, 4] by the Intermediate Value Theorem. Thus, the statement is true.

ii) The order of convergence of the secant method is 0.62 .

Answer:

Statement: The order of convergence of the secant method is 0.62.
Answer: False.
Justification: The order of convergence of the secant method is approximately 1.618 (the golden ratio, derived from the characteristic equation of the method’s error recurrence). This is because the secant method uses two previous iterates to approximate the derivative, leading to superlinear convergence with an order given by ( 1 + 5 ) / 2 1.618 ( 1 + 5 ) / 2 1.618 (1+sqrt5)//2~~1.618(1 + \sqrt{5})/2 \approx 1.618(1+5)/21.618. The value 0.62 is incorrect, as it is less than 1 and does not match the established convergence rate. For comparison, a method with an order of 0.62 would converge sublinearly, which contradicts the secant method’s behavior.

iii) For the system of linear equations:
5 x + y + 2 z = 34 4 y 3 z = 12 10 x 2 y + z = 4 5 x + y + 2 z = 34 4 y 3 z = 12 10 x 2 y + z = 4 {:[5x+y+2z=34],[4y-3z=12],[10 x-2y+z=-4]:}\begin{array}{r} 5 x+y+2 z=34 \\ 4 y-3 z=12 \\ 10 x-2 y+z=-4 \end{array}5x+y+2z=344y3z=1210x2y+z=4
the matrix is diagonally dominant.

Answer:

Statement: For the system of linear equations:
5 x + y + 2 z = 34 4 y 3 z = 12 10 x 2 y + z = 4 5 x + y + 2 z = 34 4 y 3 z = 12 10 x 2 y + z = 4 {:[5x+y+2z=34],[4y-3z=12],[10 x-2y+z=-4]:}\begin{array}{r} 5x + y + 2z = 34 \\ 4y – 3z = 12 \\ 10x – 2y + z = -4 \end{array}5x+y+2z=344y3z=1210x2y+z=4
the matrix is diagonally dominant.
Answer: False.
Justification: A matrix is diagonally dominant if for each row, the absolute value of the diagonal element is at least as large as the sum of the absolute values of the off-diagonal elements ( | a i i | j i | a i j | | a i i | j i | a i j | |a_(ii)| >= sum_(j!=i)|a_(ij)||a_{ii}| \geq \sum_{j \neq i} |a_{ij}||aii|ji|aij|). The coefficient matrix is:
A = [ 5 1 2 0 4 3 10 2 1 ] A = 5 1 2 0 4 3 10 2 1 A=[[5,1,2],[0,4,-3],[10,-2,1]]A = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 4 & -3 \\ 10 & -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}A=[5120431021]
  • Row 1: Diagonal = | 5 | = 5 | 5 | = 5 |5|=5|5| = 5|5|=5, off-diagonal sum = | 1 | + | 2 | = 3 | 1 | + | 2 | = 3 |1|+|2|=3|1| + |2| = 3|1|+|2|=3. Since 5 > 3 5 > 3 5 > 35 > 35>3, it holds.
  • Row 2: Diagonal = | 4 | = 4 | 4 | = 4 |4|=4|4| = 4|4|=4, off-diagonal sum = | 0 | + | 3 | = 3 | 0 | + | 3 | = 3 |0|+|-3|=3|0| + |-3| = 3|0|+|3|=3. Since 4 > 3 4 > 3 4 > 34 > 34>3, it holds.
  • Row 3: Diagonal = | 1 | = 1 | 1 | = 1 |1|=1|1| = 1|1|=1, off-diagonal sum = | 10 | + | 2 | = 12 | 10 | + | 2 | = 12 |10|+|-2|=12|10| + |-2| = 12|10|+|2|=12. Since 1 < 12 1 < 12 1 < 121 < 121<12, it fails.
Since the third row does not satisfy the condition, the matrix is not diagonally dominant.

iv) The numerical method:
y n + 1 = ( 1 + λ h + λ 2 h 2 2 ) y n , λ > 0 , n 0 y n + 1 = 1 + λ h + λ 2 h 2 2 y n , λ > 0 , n 0 y_(n+1)=(1+lambdah+(lambda^(2)h^(2))/(2))y_(n),lambda > 0,n >= 0\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{n}+1}=\left(1+\lambda \mathrm{h}+\frac{\lambda^2 \mathrm{~h}^2}{2}\right) \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{n}}, \lambda>0, \mathrm{n} \geq 0yn+1=(1+λh+λ2 h22)yn,λ>0,n0
is relatively stable.

Answer:

Statement: The numerical method:
y n + 1 = ( 1 + λ h + λ 2 h 2 2 ) y n , λ > 0 , n 0 y n + 1 = 1 + λ h + λ 2 h 2 2 y n , λ > 0 , n 0 y_(n+1)=(1+lambda h+(lambda^(2)h^(2))/(2))y_(n),lambda > 0,n >= 0y_{n+1} = \left(1 + \lambda h + \frac{\lambda^2 h^2}{2}\right) y_n, \lambda > 0, n \geq 0yn+1=(1+λh+λ2h22)yn,λ>0,n0
is relatively stable.
Answer: True.
Justification: Relative stability for a numerical method typically refers to the boundedness of the solution relative to the exact solution or the method’s ability to control error growth. The given method resembles the Taylor series expansion for the solution of the ODE y = λ y y = λ y y^(‘)=lambda yy’ = \lambda yy=λy, where the exact solution is y ( t ) = y 0 e λ t y ( t ) = y 0 e λ t y(t)=y_(0)e^(lambda t)y(t) = y_0 e^{\lambda t}y(t)=y0eλt. The numerical method’s amplification factor is:
1 + λ h + λ 2 h 2 2 1 + λ h + λ 2 h 2 2 1+lambda h+(lambda^(2)h^(2))/(2)1 + \lambda h + \frac{\lambda^2 h^2}{2}1+λh+λ2h22
This is the second-order Taylor approximation of e λ h e λ h e^(lambda h)e^{\lambda h}eλh, since:
e λ h 1 + λ h + ( λ h ) 2 2 e λ h 1 + λ h + ( λ h ) 2 2 e^(lambda h)~~1+lambda h+((lambda h)^(2))/(2)e^{\lambda h} \approx 1 + \lambda h + \frac{(\lambda h)^2}{2}eλh1+λh+(λh)22
For λ > 0 λ > 0 lambda > 0\lambda > 0λ>0, the amplification factor is positive and grows with h h hhh, but it closely approximates e λ h e λ h e^(lambda h)e^{\lambda h}eλh, which is the exact growth factor per step. The method is consistent (order 2, as higher-order terms are truncated) and, for small h h hhh, the error growth is controlled relative to the exact solution. In the context of numerical methods for ODEs, relative stability often implies the method does not introduce excessive error amplification compared to the exact solution. Since the method approximates the exact solution’s behavior well for small h h hhh, it is relatively stable.

v) The method:
x n + 1 = x n 2 + 9 8 x n x n + 1 = x n 2 + 9 8 x n x_(n+1)=(x_(n))/(2)+(9)/(8x_(n))\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}+1}=\frac{\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}}}{2}+\frac{9}{8 \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{n}}}xn+1=xn2+98xn
converges to 1.5 for any choice of initial approximation.

Answer:

Statement: The method:
x n + 1 = x n 2 + 9 8 x n x n + 1 = x n 2 + 9 8 x n x_(n+1)=(x_(n))/(2)+(9)/(8x_(n))x_{n+1} = \frac{x_n}{2} + \frac{9}{8 x_n}xn+1=xn2+98xn
converges to 1.5 for any choice of initial approximation.
Answer: False.
Justification: To determine convergence, we first find the fixed point by setting x n + 1 = x n = x x n + 1 = x n = x x_(n+1)=x_(n)=xx_{n+1} = x_n = xxn+1=xn=x:
x = x 2 + 9 8 x x = x 2 + 9 8 x x=(x)/(2)+(9)/(8x)x = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{9}{8x}x=x2+98x
Multiply through by 8 x 8 x 8x8x8x:
8 x 2 = 4 x 2 + 9 4 x 2 = 9 x 2 = 9 4 x = ± 1.5 8 x 2 = 4 x 2 + 9 4 x 2 = 9 x 2 = 9 4 x = ± 1.5 8x^(2)=4x^(2)+9Longrightarrow4x^(2)=9Longrightarrowx^(2)=(9)/(4)Longrightarrowx=+-1.58x^2 = 4x^2 + 9 \implies 4x^2 = 9 \implies x^2 = \frac{9}{4} \implies x = \pm 1.58x2=4x2+94x2=9x2=94x=±1.5
So, x = 1.5 x = 1.5 x=1.5x = 1.5x=1.5 and x = 1.5 x = 1.5 x=-1.5x = -1.5x=1.5 are fixed points. The statement claims convergence to 1.5 1.5 1.51.51.5 for any initial approximation. To test this, consider the method’s behavior. The iteration can be rewritten as a function:
f ( x ) = x 2 + 9 8 x f ( x ) = x 2 + 9 8 x f(x)=(x)/(2)+(9)/(8x)f(x) = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{9}{8x}f(x)=x2+98x
Compute the derivative to check local convergence near x = 1.5 x = 1.5 x=1.5x = 1.5x=1.5:
f ( x ) = 1 2 9 8 x 2 f ( x ) = 1 2 9 8 x 2 f^(‘)(x)=(1)/(2)-(9)/(8x^(2))f'(x) = \frac{1}{2} – \frac{9}{8x^2}f(x)=1298x2
At x = 1.5 x = 1.5 x=1.5x = 1.5x=1.5:
x 2 = ( 1.5 ) 2 = 2.25 , f ( 1.5 ) = 1 2 9 8 2.25 = 1 2 9 18 = 1 2 1 2 = 0 x 2 = ( 1.5 ) 2 = 2.25 , f ( 1.5 ) = 1 2 9 8 2.25 = 1 2 9 18 = 1 2 1 2 = 0 x^(2)=(1.5)^(2)=2.25,quadf^(‘)(1.5)=(1)/(2)-(9)/(8*2.25)=(1)/(2)-(9)/(18)=(1)/(2)-(1)/(2)=0x^2 = (1.5)^2 = 2.25, \quad f'(1.5) = \frac{1}{2} – \frac{9}{8 \cdot 2.25} = \frac{1}{2} – \frac{9}{18} = \frac{1}{2} – \frac{1}{2} = 0x2=(1.5)2=2.25,f(1.5)=12982.25=12918=1212=0
Since | f ( 1.5 ) | = 0 < 1 | f ( 1.5 ) | = 0 < 1 |f^(‘)(1.5)|=0 < 1|f'(1.5)| = 0 < 1|f(1.5)|=0<1, the fixed point at x = 1.5 x = 1.5 x=1.5x = 1.5x=1.5 is attractive, suggesting local convergence for initial guesses near 1.5. However, at x = 1.5 x = 1.5 x=-1.5x = -1.5x=1.5:

The fixed point at x = 1.5 x = 1.5 x=-1.5x = -1.5x=1.5 is also attractive. Now, consider an initial guess x 0 = 2 x 0 = 2 x_(0)=-2x_0 = -2x0=2. Compute:
x 1 = 2 2 + 9 8 ( 2 ) = 1 9 16 = 1 0.5625 = 1.5625 x 1 = 2 2 + 9 8 ( 2 ) = 1 9 16 = 1 0.5625 = 1.5625 x_(1)=(-2)/(2)+(9)/(8*(-2))=-1-(9)/(16)=-1-0.5625=-1.5625x_1 = \frac{-2}{2} + \frac{9}{8 \cdot (-2)} = -1 – \frac{9}{16} = -1 – 0.5625 = -1.5625x1=22+98(2)=1916=10.5625=1.5625
x 2 = 1.5625 2 + 9 8 ( 1.5625 ) 0.78125 0.72 1.50125 x 2 = 1.5625 2 + 9 8 ( 1.5625 ) 0.78125 0.72 1.50125 x_(2)=(-1.5625)/(2)+(9)/(8*(-1.5625))~~-0.78125-0.72~~-1.50125x_2 = \frac{-1.5625}{2} + \frac{9}{8 \cdot (-1.5625)} \approx -0.78125 – 0.72 \approx -1.50125x2=1.56252+98(1.5625)0.781250.721.50125
The iterates approach 1.5 1.5 -1.5-1.51.5, not 1.5 1.5 1.51.51.5. Thus, for initial guesses near 1.5 1.5 -1.5-1.51.5, the method converges to 1.5 1.5 -1.5-1.51.5. Additionally, if x 0 = 0 x 0 = 0 x_(0)=0x_0 = 0x0=0, the term 9 8 x 0 9 8 x 0 (9)/(8x_(0))\frac{9}{8x_0}98x0 is undefined, so the method fails. Since the method does not converge to 1.5 1.5 1.51.51.5 for all initial approximations (e.g., negative guesses or zero), the statement is false.
