Feasible Computation In Symbolic And Numeric Integration, Robert H.C. Moir
Feasible Computation In Symbolic And Numeric Integration, Robert H.C. Moir
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Two central concerns in scientific computing are the reliability and efficiency of algorithms. We introduce the term feasible computation to describe algorithms that are reliable and efficient given the contextual constraints imposed in practice. The main focus of this dissertation then, is to bring greater clarity to the forms of error introduced in computation and modeling, and in the limited context of symbolic and numeric integration, to contribute to integration algorithms that better account for error while providing results efficiently.
Chapter 2 considers the problem of spurious discontinuities in the symbolic integration problem, proposing a new method to restore continuity …
