Errors and Approximations

1

1.1 INTRODUCTION Numerical techniques are widely used by scientists and engineers for solving their problems. These techniques provide answers to even those problems which have no analytical solution. However, the results obtained from numerical techniques are only approximate solutions, which can be made as accurate as we desire. The accuracy of the result obtained using numerical techniques depends on the error estimate. This makes the analysis of errors and approximation important for the study of numerical methods. In this chapter we discuss different types of errors and approximation, how they generate and affect the result obtained using numerical techniques.

1.2 ACCURACY OF NUMBERS 1. Exact Numbers. These are numbers that are exact by definition. They are called exact because they have no uncertainty in their values, e.g., 7, 15/2, 22/4 etc. are exact numbers. 2. Approximate Numbers. The numbers which are not exact are called approximate numbers, e.g., 3 =1.73... is not exact due to the presence of infinite non recurring digits. Other examples of approximate numbers are π and e whose values are 3.142… and 2.718..., respectively.

3. Significant Figures. The number of digits in a figure that express the precision of a measurement instead of its magnitude. There are certain rules for considering the number of significant digits: (a) All non-zero digits are significant. Every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 claims significance. The number, 123, 456, 789 has nine significant digits. (b) All leading and following zeros that are only placeholders are not significant. These numbers have some magnitude-indicating zeros. The red (underlined) zeros are not significant in 3,500,000 (2 SF) and 0.000,007,070 (4 SF). (c) All zeros between two other digits are significant. The number 1.023 has a significant zero for a total of four significant digits. (d) All zeros to the right of the decimal and to the right of other digits are significant. For instance, the number 34.600 has five significant digits, two of which are zeros. 4. Accuracy. It refers to the number of significant digits in a value. e.g., 43.876 is accurate to five significant digits. 5. Precision. It refers to the number of decimal positions, e.g., 43.876 has a precision of 0.001. Example 1.1 What is the accuracy of the following numbers? (a) 96.453 (b) 0.002345 (c) 4300.00 (d) 88 Solution:(a)96.453 has five significant digits. (b) 0.002345 has four significant digits. (c) 4300.00 has six significant digits. (d) 88 has two significant digits. Example 1.2 What is the precision of the following numbers? (a) 1.9086 (b) 5.76 (c) 9.63245 Solution:(a) 1.9086 has precision of 0.0001. (b) 5.76 has precision of 0.01. (c) 9.63245 has precision of 0.00001.

1.3 INHERENT ERRORS These are the errors which are present in the data supplied to the model. These are also called input errors. They consists of two components, namely, data errors and conversion errors.

(a) Data Errors. These are also called empirical errors. They arise when the data for a problem are obtained from some experiments and hence, has limited accuracy and precision. The accuracy of such data is limited due to the unavoidable limitations in instrumentation and reading. (b) Conversion Errors. These errors are also known as representation errors. They arise due to limitations of computers to store the data exactly. We know that the floating point representation retains only a specified number of digits. The digits that are not retained constitute this error.

1.4 NUMERICAL ERRORS Numerical errors arise during the process of execution of a numerical method. These are also called procedural errors. These errors consist of two components, namely, round-off errors and truncation errors. These errors can be reduced by designing suitable techniques for implementing the solution. (a) Round-off Errors. Round-off error occurs because computers use fixed number of bits and hence fixed number of binary digits to represent numbers. In a numerical computation round-off errors are introduced at every stage of computation. Hence though an individual round-off error due to a given number at a given numerical step may be small but the cumulative effect can be significant. When the number of bits required for representing a number are less than the number is usually rounded to fit the available number of bits. This is done either by chopping or by symmetric rounding. Chopping. Rounding a number by chopping amounts to dropping the extra digits. Here the given number is truncated. Suppose that we are using a computer with a fixed word length of four digits. Then the truncated representation of the number 72.32451 will be 72.32. The digits 451 will be dropped. Now to evaluate the error due to chopping let us consider the normalized representation of the given number, x i.e. x = 72.32451 = 0.7232451× 102 = (0.7232 + 0.0000451) × 102 = (0.7232 + 0.451 ×10–4) × 102 Therefore, chopping error in representing x = 0.451 ×102–4

So in general if a number x is the true value of a given number and fx ×10 E is the normalized form of the rounded (chopped) number x and gx × 10E–d is the normalized form of the chopping error then x = fx × 10E + gx × 10E–d ...(1) E–d Since 0 < gx < 1, the chopping error < 10 Symmetric Round-off Error. In the symmetric round-off method the last retained significant digit is rounded up by 1, if the first discarded digit is greater or equal to 5. In other words, if gx in Eq. (1) is such that |gx| > 0.5 then the last digit in fx is raised by 1 before chopping gx × 10E–d. For example, let x = 72.918671, y = 18.63421 be two given numbers to be rounded to five digit numbers. The normalized form x and y are 0.7291867 × 102 and 0.1863421 ×102. On rounding these numbers to five digits we get 0.72919 × 102 and 0.18634 ×102 respectively. Now w.r.t. (1), we have |rounding error| = |gx| ×10E-d if gx < 0.5 E-d = |(gx–1)| ×10 if gx > 0.5 E-d In either case, error < 0.5 ×10 . (b) Truncation Errors. Often an approximation is used in place of an exact mathematical procedure. For instance consider the Taylor series expansion of say sin x, i.e., sin x = x −

x3 x5 x7 + − ..... 3! 5! 7 !

Practically we cannot use all of the infinite number of terms in the series for computing the sine of angle x. We usually terminate the process after a certain number of terms. The error that results due to such a termination or truncation is called as ‘truncation error’. Usually in evaluating logarithms, exponentials, trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions etc. an infinite series of the form S=



∑ ai x i

i =0

n

is replaced by a finite series S = ∑ a i x i . Thus, a i =0



truncation error of



a i x i is introduced in the computation.

i =n +1

Example 1.3 Evaluate the exponential function

Errors and Approximations

(i) using first three terms at x = 0.2 (ii) using first four terms at x =1 (iii) first six terms at x =1. Solution: We have ex = 1 + x + e0.2 = 1 + x +

(i)

x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 + + + + + ...... 2! 3! 4 ! 5 ! 6 ! x2 2!

e0.2 = 1 + 0.2 + = =

0.22 = 1.22 2!

x3 x4 x5 x6 + + + + ...... 3! 4 ! 5 ! 6 !

0.008 0.0016 + + ... = 0.00133 + 0.000066 + .... 6 24 10 − 2

= 0.133 × 10 Therefore, Truncation error < 10–2 (ii)

ex = 1 + x +

+ 0.0066 × 10−2

x2 x3 + 2 3

= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 2.66666 2

Therefore the truncation error is e–2.66666666 = 2.71828183 – 2.66666666 = 0.05161517 = 5.161516 ×10–2 (iii) The value of e when we use first six terms is ex = 1 + x + = 1+1+

x2 x3 x4 x5 + + + 2 3 4 5 1 1 1 1 + + + = 2.71666666 2 6 24 129

Therefore the truncation error is e–2.66666666 = 2.71828183 – 2.71666666

= 0.00161517=1.615 × 10–3 The concept of truncation errors is important because in numerical analysis many of the iterative methods are infinite and can be applied only by using the concept of truncation errors. While using these methods, we can reduce the truncation error by using better numerical model, which usually increase the number of arithmetic operations. But, in such case round off error usually increases, as it increases with number of arithmetic operation. So, care should be taken while choosing a particular numerical method so as to minimize the error in the solution.

1.5 MODELING ERRORS Mathematical models form the basis for the numerical solution. They are developed to represent physical processes using certain parameters and variables which define the process. In many cases, it is not feasible to involve all the parameters or whole of the process in formulation of the problem. Therefore, we introduce certain assumptions for the simplification of the problem. For example, while developing a simple model for calculating velocity of a car, we may not be able to estimate the air resistance or condition of road and so on. All such neglected parameters introduce errors in the output from such models. Since a model is the basic input to the numerical process, no numerical method will give appropriate results if the model is developed erroneously. So it is important to formulate and develop a refined model incorporating more parameters and features of the problem. This way we can reduce modelling errors. Many times, refining and improving the model results in a more complex model which may take more time for the implementation of the solution process. It is also not always true that a refined model always provide better results. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a balance between the level of accuracy and complexity of the model. A model must include only those features that are essential to reduce the error to an acceptable level.

1.6 BLUNDERS The errors which arise due to human imperfection are called blunders. These errors may result in disastrous results. These errors may originate due to wrong assumption, errors in deriving

mathematical equations, selection of inappropriate methods, mistake in data input etc. These type of errors are easily avoidable by attaining proper knowledge of the problem and learning all aspects of the numerical method to be used.

1.7 SOME FUNDAMENTAL DEFINITIONS OF ERROR ANALYSIS (a) Absolute and Relative Errors. Absolute Error: Suppose that xt and xa denote the true and approximate values of a datum then the error incurred on approximating xt by xa is given by e = xt – xa and the absolute error ea, i.e., magnitude of the error is given by ea = |xt – xa|. (b) Relative Error. Relative Error or normalized error er in representing a true datum xt by an approximate value xa is defined by er =

e x |x − x a | Absolute error = a = t = 1− a xt |True error| | x t | |xt |

and er % = er ×100 Sometimes er is defined by Example 1.4 If true value of x =1.41421 and approximate value is x′ =1.414, then calculate absolute error, relative and percentage errors. Solution: ea = 1.41421 – 1.414 = 0.00021 er =

1,41421 − 1.414 = 0.00014849 1.41421

er × 100 = 0.00014849 × 100 = 0.014849 Example 1.5 If 0.333 is the approximate value of its absolute, relative and percentage errors. Solution: Given that true value x =

Relative error

er =

0.000333 = 0.000999 0.333333

Percentage errorer × 100 = 0.000999 × 100 = 0.099% Example 1.6 If x = 0.006789, find absolute, relative and percentage error if x is rounded off to three decimal places. Solution: The value of x after we round-off to three decimal places = 0.007. Therefore Then absolute errorea = 0.0067890 – 007 = 0.000211 Relative error

er =

0.000211 = 0.031079 0.006789

Percentage error er ×100 = 0.031079 × 100 = 3.107% (c) Machine Epsilon. Let us assume that we have a decimal computer system. We know that we would encounter round-off error when a number is represented in floating-point form. The relative round-off error due to chopping is defined by er =

g x × 10E −d f x × 10E

Here we know that gx < 1.0 and fx > 0.1 er

where l11 = l22 = l33 = 1 and li1 = u for i = 2, 3, ....n 11 It is important to note that for computation of any element, we require the values of elements in the previous columns as well as the values of elements in the column above that element. This means that we should compute the elements, column by column from left to right within each column from top to bottom. Example 3.10 Solve the system of equations using Triangular Factorization method: x + 5y + z = 14 2x + y + 3z = 13 3x + y + 4z = 17 Solution: The system can be written as AX = B, where 1 5 1  x  14  2 1 3  X =  y  B = 13  A=       3 1 4   z  17 

Let

1 5 1  2 1 3    3 1 4 

Notice that u11 = 1, u12 = 5, u13 = 1. Therefore 1

1 5 1  2 1 3    3 1 4 

Hence, l21 = 2; 5l21 + u22 = 1; l21 + u23 = 3. Therefore, l21 = 2; u22 = – 9; u23 = 1 Again, l31 = 3; 5l31 + l32 u22 = 1; l31 + l32 u23 + u33 = 4. Therefore, l32 =

1 − 15 14 = −9 9

u33 = −

Since, LUX = B implies LZ = B where UX = Z we write LZ = B as 1 0 0   z1  14  2 1 0   z  =     2 13   14   z3  17  1 3 9  

which gives z1 = 14; 2z1 + z2 = 13; 3z1 +

14 z + z3 = 17 9 2

Solving which we get, z1 = 14; z2 = – 15; z3 = –

5 3

Now UX = Z can be written as 1  x  1 5  14  0 −9 1   y  =  −15         5 5   z  0 0 −  −  9   3

This reduces the system of equation as x = 5y + z = 14 –9y = z = –15 5 5 − z = − 9 3

which on back substitution gives z = 3, y = 2, x = 1 as solution. Crout’s Method. This is another direct method in which we factorize the coefficient matrix A as LU using another approach. In this method we take

Next we follow the similar steps to obtain the elements of L and U that we used in Triangular Factorization Method. Example 3.11 Solve the system of equations using Crout’s method: x – y=0 –2x + 4y – 2z = – 1 –y + 2z =

3.4 ITERATIVE METHODS The direct methods discussed above become unsuitable in case of larger system of equations or when most of the coefficients are zero. They not only affect the accuracy of the solution due to roundoff errors but also get tedious. In such cases, iterative methods provide an alternative. In iterative methods we start from an approximation to the true solution and obtain better and better approximations from a computation cycle repeated as often as may be necessary to achieve desired level of accuracy. In this way, the amount of computations in iteration methods depends on the desired degree of accuracy. These iterative methods institute truncation errors and hence, it is important to interpret the magnitude of this error as well as rate of convergence of the iteration process. In fact, iterative methods are self correcting

methods and any error made in computation, is corrected in the subsequent iterations. Gauss Jacobi Method. This method is one of the simple iterative method which extends the idea of fixed point iteration method (discussed in Chapter 2) to a system of linear equations. Consider a system of n equations in n unknowns: a11 x1 + a12 x2 + a13 x3 + ....... + a1n xn = b1 a21 x1 + a22 x2 + a23 x3 + ..... + a2n xn = b2 ○

























































an1 x1 + an2 x2 + an3 x3 + ..... + ann xn = bn Rewriting the system, we get x1 =

1 (b1 − a12 x 2 − a13 x 3 − ...... − a1n x n ) a11

x2 =

1 (b2 − a 21x1 − a 23 x 3 − ...... − a 2n x n ) a 22

xn =

1 (bn − a n1x1 − a n 2 x 2 − ...... − a nn −1x n −1 ) a 22

Assuming x1(0) , x 2(0) , ....., x n(0) to be the initial guess for x1, x2, ...., xn, we can compute next set of values for these unknowns as follows: x1(1) =

1 (b1 − a12 x1(0) − a13 x 3(0) − .... − a1n x n(0) ) a11

x 2(1) =

1 (b2 − a 21x1(0) − a 23 x 3(0) − .... − a 2n x n(0) ) a 22

................................................................... x n(1) =

1 (bn − a n1x1(0) − a n 2 x 2(0) − .... − a nn −1x n(0)−1 ) a nn

Now using x1(1) , x 2(1) ,......., x n(1) , we can get next set of values of x x1(2) =

1 (b1 − a11x 2(1) − a13 x 3(1) − .... − a1n x n(1) ) a11

Since the values are correct up to three decimal places, we take x(5), y(5) and z(5) as the solution. Relaxation Method. This method is an improvement of Gauss Seidal method aimed at faster convergence. The basic concept is to take the change generated in a Gauss Seidal iteration step and extrapolate the new value of the unknown by a factor r of this change. The new relaxation value is given by x ir(k +1) = x i(k ) + r ( x i(k +1) − x i(k ) )

= r x i(k +1) + ( 1 − r ) x i(k )

...(9)

The parameter r is called the relaxation parameter. This step is applied successively to each element of the vector X during iteration procedure and hence the method is called Successive Relaxation Method. The parameter r may be assigned a value between 0 and 2 as follows: 0 < r
