    Programming Project – 2021-01-15

    MATB21: Analysis in several variables 1


    C. Führer, L. Versbach

    This assignment has 3 tasks.


    The goal of this project is to gain a better understanding of theoretical concepts
    with the help of practical implementations. This requires both programming skills and
    theoretical knowledge. The main computations have to be done using Python!
    Make sure to study the documentations of any Python functions we ask you to use and
    that you understand the mathematics of the problem before you start programming. It
    is recommended to start with each task after the theoretical material is covered in the
    lectures, but it is even possible to start programming parts before that (task 2 can be
    solved without the theoretical material covered).
    The project follows the line of a previous exam in the course MATB21 (Aug, 2017).
    For this project you should work in groups of two, three or four. Solve the project
    tasks during the course and upload your group’s code as a single file having one of the
    file types * .py or * .ipynb in Canvas.

    Deadline: Tuesday, 20/03/2021. Appointments for oral presentations will be


    scheduled via Canvas, pay attention to any announcements. This group presentation
    is mandatory.

    All questions and discussion with regards to the tasks should be done using Canvas. Due
    to the current circumstances, we will have all contact using zoom (questions as well as
    the oral presentations).

    Task 1 - Integration, Curves, Surface integrals, directional derivatives

    This is related to Task 3 in the above mentioned exam:

    Compute the length of the plane curve γ : (x, y) = (t2 , t3 ), −2 ≤ t ≤ 1.

    • Write your own python function Rie_sum(f, a, b, n) to compute a


    Riemann sum for calculating integrals of functions in one variable.
    • Verify this python function: Take a simple function f and show that the
    difference of your function and the exact solution tends to zero for n → ∞.

    • Use Rie_sum to solve the above exam question. Compare your result with
    scipy.integrate.quad.

    Task 2 - Optimization, Gradients

    This is related to Task 1 in the above mentioned exam:

    Determine local extreme values for the function f (x, y) = 8xy −4x2 y −2xy 2 +x2 y 2 .

    • Graphically determine local extreme values using a contour plot.


    • Numerically compute local extreme values using scipy.optimize.fmin.
    Hint: Maxima of f are minima of −f .
    • fmin is an iterative method. Trace the iterates in your contour plot. Hint:
    Check the documentation of fmin, some optional parameters might help
    here.

    Task 3 Implicit functions, curves, surfaces

    This is related to Task 6 in the above mentioned exam:

    Show that the equation x + 2y + z + e2z = 1 has a smooth solution z = z(x, y) de-
    fined in a neighbourhood of the origin x = y = z = 0. Find the Taylor polynomial
    of degree 2 of the function z(x, y) about the point x = y = 0.

    • Illustrate the smoothness of z(x, y) in a neighborhood of the origin using a


    3D plot. Hint: For a given x and y you can solve the equation for z using
    scipy.optimize.fsolve.
    • Determine the coefficients of the Taylor polynomial P2 (x, y) of degree 2 of
    z(x, y) about the point x = y = 0 using numerical differentiation. Hint:
    Check the Wikipedia article on numerical differentiation, which also helps on
    how to pick suitable h. Do not compute the coefficients by hand!
    • Make a 3D plot of P2 (x, y).
    • Plot the absolute error e(x, y) := |z(x, y) − P2 (x, y)|. Is the error reasonable
    given your knowledge on Taylor approximations?
