Question 1. Use Taylor Expansion to compute the local truncation error for the implicit Trapezoidal method: Yk+1 = Yk + ?t/2 (fk + fk+1)
Question 2. Suppose certain numerical method for ODE y ′ = f(t, y) has the form:
Yk+2 = Yk+1 + ?t/12 (-fk + 8fk+1 + 5fk+2).
(a) Compute the Local Tuncation Error for the scheme and judge if the scheme is consistent
(b) Based on the eigenvalue calculation, judge if the scheme is zero-stable
(c) Apply the scheme to the standard test problem and plot the region of absolute stability for the scheme.
