Example  Use forward, backward and centered difference approximations to estimate the first derivate of: f(x) = –0.1x 4 – 0.15x 3 – 0.5x 2 – 0.25x at x = 0.5 using step size h = 0.5 and h = 0.25  Note that the derivate can be obtained directly: f’(x) = –0.4x 3 – 0.45x 2 – 1.0x – 0.25 The true value of f’(0.5) =  In this example, the function and its derivate are known. However, in general, only tabulated data might be given. CISE301_Topic612

Solution with Step Size = 0.5  f(0.5) = 0.925, f(0) = 1.2, f(1.0) = 0.2  Forward Divided Difference: f’(0.5)  (0.2 – 0.925)/0.5 = | t | = |( )/ | = 58.9%  Backward Divided Difference: f’(0.5)  (0.925 – 1.2)/0.5 = | t | = |( )/ | = 39.7%  Centered Divided Difference: f’(0.5)  (0.2 – 1.2)/1.0 = -1.0 | t | = |( )/ | = 9.6% CISE301_Topic613

Solution with Step Size = 0.25  f(0.5)=0.925, f(0.25)=1.1035, f(0.75)=  Forward Divided Difference: f’(0.5)  ( – 0.925)/0.25 = | t | = |( )/ | = 26.5%  Backward Divided Difference: f’(0.5)  (0.925 – )/0.25 = | t | = |( )/ | = 21.7%  Centered Divided Difference: f’(0.5)  ( – )/0.5 = | t | = |( )/ | = 2.4% CISE301_Topic614

Discussion  For both the Forward and Backward difference, the error is O(h)  Halving the step size h approximately halves the error of the Forward and Backward differences  The Centered difference approximation is more accurate than the Forward and Backward differences because the error is O(h 2 )  Halving the step size h approximately quarters the error of the Centered difference.

CISE301_Topic617 Richardson Extrapolation Use two derivate estimates to compute a third, more accurate approximation

Richardson Extrapolation Example  Use the function: f(x) = –0.1x 4 – 0.15x 3 – 0.5x 2 – 0.25x Starting with h 1 = 0.5 and h 2 = 0.25, compute an improved estimate of f’(0.5) using Richardson Extrapolation  Recall the true value of f’(0.5) = CISE301_Topic618

Solution  The first-derivative estimates can be computed with centered differences as: CISE301_Topic619
