Validated numerics
(Redirected from Draft:Validated numerics)
Validated numerics, or rigorous computation, verified computation, reliable computation, numerical verification (German: Zuverlässiges Rechnen) is numerics including mathematically strict error (rounding error, truncation error, discretization error) evaluation, and it is one field of numerical analysis. For computation, interval arithmetic is used, and all results are represented by intervals. Validated numerics were used by Warwick Tucker in order to solve the 14th of Smale's problems,[1] and today it is recognized as a powerful tool for the study of dynamical systems.[2]
Importance
[edit]Computation without verification may cause unfortunate results. Below are some examples.
Rump's example
[edit]In the 1980s, Rump made an example.[3][4] He made a complicated function and tried to obtain its value. Single precision, double precision, extended precision results seemed to be correct, but its plus-minus sign was different from the true value.
Phantom solution
[edit]Breuer–Plum–McKenna used the spectrum method to solve the boundary value problem of the Emden equation, and reported that an asymmetric solution was obtained.[5] This result to the study conflicted to the theoretical study by Gidas–Ni–Nirenberg which claimed that there is no asymmetric solution.[6] The solution obtained by Breuer–Plum–McKenna was a phantom solution caused by discretization error. This is a rare case, but it tells us that when we want to strictly discuss differential equations, numerical solutions must be verified.
Accidents caused by numerical errors
[edit]The following examples are known as accidents caused by numerical errors:
- Failure of intercepting missiles in the Gulf War (1991)[7]
- Failure of the Ariane 5 rocket (1996)[8]
- Mistakes in election result totalization[9]
Main topics
[edit]The study of validated numerics is divided into the following fields:
- Verification in numerical linear algebra
- Verification of special functions:
- Verification of numerical quadrature[31][32][33]
- Verification of nonlinear equations (The Kantorovich theorem,[34] Krawczyk method, interval Newton method, and the Durand–Kerner–Aberth method are studied.)
- Verification for solutions of ODEs, PDEs[35] (For PDEs, knowledge of functional analysis are used.[34])
- Verification of linear programming[36]
- Verification of computational geometry
- Verification at high-performance computing environment
