  Area of Education: Science

Subject area: Mathematics

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
Within the area of scientific computing algorithms for solution of mathematical problems in science and technology are developed. The student should deepen his/her knowledge within the area. After this course the student should be able to
  • use and analyse orthogonal transformations for the solution of eigenvalue problems, least squares problems and similar computational problems in linear algebra
  • use and analyse Newton's and Gauss-Newton's methods for solving nonlinear equations
  • use and analyse (with respect to accuracy and stability) one-step and multistep methods for integrating initial value problems


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Numerical Methods I / Numerical Algorithms. A Basic Programming course.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, lessons and computer exercises.

Course contents:
Linear Algebra: LU-factorization. Perturbation Theory. The Singular Value Decomposition and the Pseudoinverse. Orthogonal transformations using the Householder and the Given“s methods. The QR decomposition and the Least Squares Problem. The Eigenvalue Problem: Normal forms. Perturbation Theory and error estimates. The Rayleigh quotient. The Power method and Inverse Iteration. Transformation to Hessenberg and tridiagonal form. The QR-algorithm. Systems of nonlinear equations and nonlinear least squares problems. The Newton and Gauss-Newton methods. Ordinary Differential Equations: Runge-Kutta methods. Multistep methods. Errror estimates and step lenght control. Difference equations. Stability and Convergence. Methods for stiff systems.
