Numerical Methods Test

1. This document provides instructions for a numerical methods exam with 5 questions worth a total of 10 marks. Students are to use only the methods indicated in their solutions and no other methods. 2. Question 1 asks students to find the quantity an iterative method converges to and determine its rate of convergence. Question 2 involves using Lagrange interpolation polynomials. Question 3 requires using Gaussian elimination with complete pivoting to solve a system of linear equations. Question 4 finds an unknown value based on an interpolating polynomial. Question 5 proves an identity involving gradient and Laplace operators.

1. An iteration method is defined by


2(x3n + 1)
xn+1 := , n = 0, 1, 2, . . .
1 + 3x2n
Find the positive real quantity to which the method converges. Hence, determine the rate

Further, prove that i=0 Li (x)xki = xk , k = 0, 1, . . . n.

3. Use Gaussian elimination with Complete Pivoting and 3-digit rounding arithmetic to find
the solution of following system od linear equations. [2 Marks]
