Numerical Integration

  • Van der Pol Oscillator: <math>\ddot u - \mu (1-u^2) \dot u + u = 0</math>
    • Implementations in OpenOffice Spreadsheet, GNU ODE, and Python
    • Perturbed initial conditions, Lyapunov exponents, and large deviation principles
  • Working well with others: text
  • Working with machines: binary
    • inspecting binary formats with od

Example: ELF header

od -t x1 -t c -N 8 /bin/bash

Binary comes in lots of units

8 bits = 1 byte 4 bits = 1 nibble 1 byte = 1 ascii character 2 bytes = 1 short 4 bytes = 1 32-bit int = 1 float 8 bytes = 1 64-bit int = 1 64-bit address = 1 double = 1 float complex 16 bytes = 1 long double = 1 double complex

Byte ordering on most modern 64-bit processors is little-endian (Intel, AMD)

in base 10, this would mean the 4-digit representation of the number 123 is

3 = 0011
2 = 0010
1 = 0001
0 = 0000

The binary together would read:

0011 0010 0001 0000

Since we have to use 4 digits, but the little end (least significant byte) goes first.

Basis Functions

  • Constructing B-splines - tensor method
  • Representing the differentiation operator
  • Solving PDEs using the implicit method
