QUESTION 1 [30 MARKS]
Discuss exhaustively the Romberg Method Extrapolation process to show that the nth order
extrapolation employed by the method is given by:
I Improved
n
= 4 I More—accura4taen_4~~ I Less accurate
QUESTION 2 [30 MARKS}
(a) Define the Picard Method for solving the following Initial Value Problem (IVP)
Tdy aos (t, y(t), v(to) = y,
and hence derive the Picard Iteration algorithm
[13]
(b) Using the Picard method, find the solution, correct to 3 decimal places, of the following 1*t order
IVP atx =0.1
dSdwx axty?, y(0)=1
with x(0) =x) = 0
[17]
QUESTION 3 [30 MARKS]
(a) Discuss the contrast between a quadrature rule and the adaptive rule.
[3]
(b) Consider the integral

Using the Adaptive Simpson’s Method and an error € = 0.2, obtain the approximate value of the
above integral (for computational ease, using where appropriate the following as done in class):
To1 S|.a b) — S.(a, a+b )— S{ a+b .b)
where

QUESTION 4 [30 MARKS]
(a) (i) State the Steepest Descent Algorithm
[6]
(ii) State the theorem that guarantees that the Steepest Descent method ensures some progress
in the direction of the minimum of the objective function during each iteration.
[4]
(b) Using the Steepest Descent Method, obtain the minimum of the following function:
f(x,y) = 4x? — 4xy + 2y?
