Computational Science Seminar

When: Tuesday, February 23, 2016
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Where: Textiles Building 105
Cost: free
Description: The Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research announces the following skype seminar.

Speaker: John Butcher (University of Auckland, New Zealand)
Title: "B-series for the analysis of numerical methods"
Time: Tuesday, February 23, 2016, 4:00pm-5:00pm
Location: Textiles 105

Abstract:

B-series have their origin in the study of Runge-Kutta methods. However, they have an important application in the analysis of general linear methods (multistage-multivalue methods). Each input and each stage is represented by a B-series and these are inter-related in terms of the coefficient matrices which define a specific method. In the case of Runge-Kutta methods (one-value methods) this analysis gives the standard conditions in terms of rooted trees and the corresponding elementary weights and tree factorials.
