Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables (+) = + + (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...
"New high-order Runge-Kutta formulas with step size control for systems of first and second-order differential equations". Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik . 44 (S1): T17 – T29 .
The next step is to multiply the above value by the step size , which we take equal to one here: = = Since the step size is the change in , when we multiply the step size and the slope of the tangent, we get a change in value.
Uncertainty propagation is the quantification of uncertainties in system output(s) propagated from uncertain inputs. It focuses on the influence on the outputs from the parametric variability listed in the sources of uncertainty. The targets of uncertainty propagation analysis can be:
The analysis of errors computed using the global positioning system is important for understanding how GPS works, and for knowing what magnitude errors should be expected. The Global Positioning System makes corrections for receiver clock errors and other effects but there are still residual errors which are not corrected.
In numerical analysis, the Runge–Kutta methods (English: / ˈ r ʊ ŋ ə ˈ k ʊ t ɑː / ⓘ RUUNG-ə-KUUT-tah [1]) are a family of implicit and explicit iterative methods, which include the Euler method, used in temporal discretization for the approximate solutions of simultaneous nonlinear equations. [2]
A more elegant way of writing the so-called "propagation of error" variance equation is to use matrices. [12] First define a vector of partial derivatives, as was used in Eq(8) above:
