Mathematical Model
• Overflow
• Chopping vs rounding
• where is referred to as the machine epsilon, t is number of significant digit in mantissa
• Double precision
Machine epsilon determination
• EXCEL Example
Round off error
• Smearing:
– when individual terms in a summation are larger than
the summation itself
– a summation of large positive and negative numbers
in a series
– y = exp(x), For x=-10
• Excel Example
Differentiation
f(xi-1) f(xi) f(xi+1)
• Backward difference
• Central difference
Effect of step size
• Obtain first derivative of function
• At X=1
• h=1, 0.1, 0.001, …
• Excel Example
Stability
x f x f x x
• Condition number
f x x
f x x
– a measure of the extent to which an uncertainty in
x is magnified by f (x).
– A value of 1 tells us that the function’s relative
error is identical to the relative error in x.
– A value greater than 1 tells us that the relative
error is amplified,
– A value less than 1 tells us that it is attenuated.
Error Propagation
• Objective is control of numerical error
