Precise Numerical Analysis

- Book -
 

Author(s)
Oliver Aberth

Year
1988

Publisher
William Brown

Abstract
Aberth addresses elementary issues of precise floating point computations using variable precision range arithmetic. Numbers are represented as a variable precision number ± a range. Rational arithmetic is also considered. Chapters are devoted to

  1. rootfinding,
  2. polynomial rootfinding,
  3. numerical linear algebra,
  4. differentiation and integration, and
  5. ordinary differential equations
Differentiation is handled by a codelist approach like [Rall1981ADT], and applications to Taylor series are given. Interval techniques for ordinary differential equations are based on using an a priori bound to capture remainder terms. Several methods are illustrated, including Taylor series methods.
