Numerical Analysis

Tutorial Sheet-8

Note: All the problems use 5-digit floating point arithmetic with rounding.

1. A natural cubic spline S is defined by



S0 (x) = 1 + α (x − 1) − β (x − 1)3 , if 1 ≤ x < 2
S(x) =
S1 (x) = 1 + γ (x − 2) − 43 (x − 2)2 + δ (x − 2)3 , if 2 ≤ x ≤ 3.

If S interpolates the data (1, 1), (2, 1) and (3, 0) then find α, β, γ and δ.

2. Find a natural cubic spline interpolating function for the data:

x 1 2 3
y 1 1 0

3. Fit a curve of the type y = aebx for the following data set:

x 77 100 185 239 285


y 2.4 3.4 7.0 1.1 19.6

Use 5-digit floating point arithmetic with rounding.

4. A physicist wants to approximate the following data:

x 0.0 0.5 1.0 2.0 3.0


y(x) 0.01 0.57 1.46 5.05 8.69

using a function a bx . Find the function using least square approximation.
