Numerical Methods Assignment for Engineers

The document outlines an individual assignment for a Numerical Methods course at Debre Birehan University, specifically for Mechanical Engineering students. It includes four problems related to the Gauss-Seidel method, rocket velocity calculations using splines and regression, predictor-corrector methods, and the Finite-Difference method for boundary value problems. Each problem requires clear and neat solutions, with specific marks allocated for each part.

Solve each problem clearly and neatly

1. Find the necessary and sufficient conditions on , so that the Gauss-Seidel method converges for
any initial approximation for solving the system of equation: , where

( ) and is arbitrary. (2 marks)

2. The upward velocity of a rocket is given as a function of time in the table below. (4 marks)
t(s) 0 1 2 3
V(t)(m/s) 0 2 33 244
a. Use the quadratic and cubic spline to determine the value of the velocity at seconds.
b. Use linear and quadratic regressions to determine the value of the velocity at seconds.
Which one (linear or quadratic) is a best approximation?
3. Use predictor and corrector (Adam’s-Bash ford and Adam’s- Moulton) methods, estimate for
for with correct to 4 decimal places. Take Forth order Kange-
Kutta method as starter method and . (2 marks)
4. Use the Finite-Difference method to approximate the solution of the boundary value problem:
for with and Take
Finally compare this result with analytical solution (if possible) (2 marks)
