This document discusses Newton's method for solving systems of nonlinear equations. It begins by introducing Newton's method in one dimension and extending it to multiple dimensions using a Jacobian matrix. It then proves that under certain conditions, Newton's method will converge quadratically to the solution. An example is provided to illustrate computing the Jacobian and using Newton's method. The document also discusses shooting methods for solving boundary value problems by converting them into initial value problems through an initial guess of a boundary condition.

Derivation and Application of Multistep Methods to a Class of First-order Ord...AI Publications
Ā
Of concern in this work is the derivation and implementation of the multistep methods through Taylorās expansion and numerical integration. For the Taylorās expansion method, the series is truncated after some terms to give the needed approximations which allows for the necessary substitutions for the derivatives to be evaluated on the differential equations. For the numerical integration technique, an interpolating polynomial that is determined by some data points replaces the differential equation function and it is integrated over a specified interval. The methods show that they are only convergent if and only if they are consistent and stable. In our numerical examples, the methods are applied on non-stiff initial value problems of first-order ordinary differential equations, where it is established that the multistep methods show superiority over the single-step methods in terms of robustness, efficiency, stability and accuracy, the only setback being that the multi-step methods require more computational effort than the single-step methods.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Ā
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

14. The weakness in Newton's method arises from the need to compute and
invert the matrix J(x) at each step.
Technique: In practice, explicit computation of J(x)Ā 1
is avoided by
performing the opertion in a two-step manner. First a vector y is found
that satis

). Then the new approximation, x

obtained by adding y to x

18. 2 Shooting Methods
2.1 Introduction
Consider the Boundary value problem
yHH = f(t;y;yH); t P (a;b) (6)
with one of the following three boundary conditions.
(i) Boundary conditions of
19. rst kind:
y(a) =
1; y(b) =
2 (7)
(ii) Boundary conditions of second kind:
yH(a) =
1; yH(b) =
2 (8)
(iii) Boundary conditions of third kind (or mixed type):
a0y(a) Ā a1yH(a) =
1; b0y(b) + b1yH(b) =
2 (9)
where a0, b0, a1, b1,
1 and
2 are constants such that
a0a1 ! 0; ja0j+ ja1j T= 0
b0b1 ! 0; jb0j+ jb1j T= 0; ja0j+ jb0j T= 0
2.2 Shooting method(Initial value problem method)
Consider the boundary value problem (6) (BVP) subject to the given bound-
ary conditions.
Since the dierential equation is of second order, we require two linearly
independent conditions to solve the boundary value problems. One of the
ways of solving the boundary value problem is the following:
(i) Boundary conditions of the
20. rst kind. Here, we are given y(a) =
1. In
order that an initial value method can be used, we guess the value of
the slope at t = a as yH(a) = .
(ii) Boundary conditions of the second kind. Here, we are given yH(a) =
1.
In order that an initial value method can be used, we guess the value
of y(t) at t = a as y(a) = .
7
21. (iii) Boundary conditions of third kind. Here we guess the value of y(a) or
yH(a). If we assume that yH(a) = , then from (4), we get
y(a) =
(
1 + a1)
a0
The realted initial value problem is solved upto t = b, by using a single step or
multistep method. If the problem is solved directly, then we use the methods
for second order initial value problems. If the dierential equation is reduced
to a system of two frist order equations. Then we use the Rutnge-Kutta
method or multistep methods for a system of
22. rst order equations.
If the solution at t = b does not satisfy the given boundary condition
at the other end t = b, then we take another guess value of y(a) or yH(a)
and solve the initial value problem again upto t = b. These two solutions at
t = b, of the initial value problems are used to obtain a better estimate of
y(a) or yH(a). A sequence of such problems are solved if necessary to obtain
the solution of the given boundary value problem.
For a linear, non homogeneous boundary value problem, it is sucient
to solve two initial value problems with two linearly independent guess initial
conditions.
This technique of solving the boundary value problems by using the meth-
ods for solving the initial value problems is called the Shooting Method.
2.3 Linear shooting method
Theorem 2.1. Suppose the function f in the boundary value problem
yHH = f(t;y;yH); a t b;y(a) =
1;y(b) =
2
is continuous on the set D = f(t;y;yH)ja t b;Ā I y I;Ā I yH
Ig, and that the partial derivatives fy and fy0 are also continuous on D. If
(i) fy(t;y;yH) 0, for all (t;y;yH) P D, and
(ii) a constant M exists, with
jfy0 (t;y;y)j M; V(x;y;yH) P D
then the boundary value problem has a unique solution.
8
23. Corollary 2.2. If the linear boundary value problem
yHH = p(t)yH + q(t)y + r(t);a t b;y(a) =
1;y(b) =
2
satis
24. es
(i) p(t);q(t) and r(t) are continuous on [a;b],
(ii) q(t) 0 on [a;b] then the problem has a unique solution.
Let us
25. rst consider the initial value problems
yHH = p(t)yH + q(t)y + r(t); a t b;y(a) =
1;yH(a) = 0 (10)
and
yHH = p(t)yH + q(t)y;a t b;y(a) = 0;yH(a) = 1 (11)
From the above corollary 2.2 and from the theory of homogeneous dierential
equations, the problems (10) and (11) have a unique solution. Let y1(t)
denote the solution of (10), y2(t) denote the solution of (11) and let
y(t) = y1(t) +
2 Ā y1(b)
y2(b)
:y2(x) (12)
Then
yH(t) = yH
1(t) +
2 Ā y1(b)
y2(b)
yH
2(t)
and
yHH(t) = yHH
1 (t) +
2 Ā y1(b)
y2(b)
yHH

so
yHH = p(t)yH
1 + q(t)y1 + r(t) +

Hence, y(t) is the unique solution to the linear boundary value problem, pro-
vided, of course, that y2(b) T= 0.
The shooting method for linear equations is based on the replacement of
the linear BVP by the two initial value problems (10) and (11). Numerous
methods are available from the previous modules (module 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
13, 14, 15, 16) for approximating the solutions y1(t) and y2(t). Once these
approximations are available, the solution to the BVP is approximated using
(12). Graphically the method had the appearence shown in Figure 1.
