Numerical Methods

7. A "shooting method" is a method: a for solving an initial value problem b, in which the boundary conditions are satisfied at each iteration ç, in which each teration requires the solution of an initial value problem d, for dealing with unruly students 8. In the following efficiency diagram, the dashed line represents u ber of ignificant Digts 10 CPUtime 10 100 1000 a. a higher-order method a lower-order method b. a method with severe numerical instability problems d. the best method for all stepsizes

Explanation / Answer

7. In numerical analysis, the shooting method is a method for solving a boundary value problem by reducing it to the solution of an initial value problem. Roughly speaking, we 'shoot' out trajectories in different directions until we find a trajectory that has the desired boundary value.
