Assignment Numerical Differentiation

This document outlines two problems for a numerical methods assignment. Problem 1 involves using forward and centered finite difference methods to approximate the derivative of f(x)=ln(x) at x=1, tabulating the results. Problem 2 involves finding at least 4 functions to calculate numerical differentiation at x=0 using given methods, denoted as solutions A, B, and C, and tabulating the results. The student is asked to submit their work as a PDF file by March 6, 2019.

Numerical Method

Assignment #1. Due date: March 6, 2019. Submission via Google Drive
PDF file (Nama_Tgs1.pdf), Times New Roman 11/12 pt or Arial 10/11 pt, single space (try to use max. of 2 pages)

Problem 1
Function:
𝑓(𝑥) = ln 𝑥
Use forward and centered finite differences method to approximate the derivative at x=1 with h between 10-15
and 10-1 (step size: 10-1). Calculate the numerical error (true value – approximation) compared to the
analytical solution (f’(x) = 1/x).

Tabulate your results, e.g.:


Forward difference method Centered difference method
h
Numerical sol. Error, Et Numerical sol. Error, Et
10-1
10-2

10-15

Explain your findings. (Hint: numerical error has two kinds of error. This book is a good start for referencing:
Numerical Methods for Engineers, 6th ed. Authors: Chapra & Canale)

Problem 2
Find at least 4 functions for numerical differentiation calculations at x = 0 using those methods:
−𝑦2 + 4𝑦1 − 3𝑦0
𝑦 ′ (𝑥0 ) =
2ℎ
𝑦1 − 𝑦−1
𝑦 ′ (𝑥0 ) =
2ℎ
−𝑦2 + 8𝑦1 − 8𝑦−1 + 𝑦−2
𝑦 ′ (𝑥0 ) =
12ℎ

Denoted as solution A, B, and C, respectively. Use the same h for all methods.

Tabulate your results, e.g.:


H=h
