solution of equations by divided difference interpolaton


Divided diference interpolation can be used to obtain approximatesolutions to equations and to invert functionsMathworldPlanetmath numerically. Theidea is that, given an equation f(y)=x which we want to solvefor y, we first take several numbers y1,,yn andcompute x1xn as xi=f(yi). Then we compute thedivided differencesDlmfMathworldPlanetmath of the yi’s regarded as functions of thexi’s and form the divided difference series. Substitutingx in this series provides an approximation to y.

To illustrate how this works, we will examine the transcendentalequation x+e-x=2. We note that 2+e-2=2.13533and 1.5+e-1.5=1.72313, so there will be a solutionbetween 1.5 and 2, likely closer to 2 than 1.5. Therefore,as our values of the yi’s, we shall take 1.5, 1.6, 1.7,1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1. We now tabulate xi=yi+e-yifor those values:

Next, we form a divided difference table of the yi’s as afunction of the xi’s:

1.723131.500001.269521.801901.60000-0.197991.237930.120821.882681.70000-0.16873-0.0396091.210360.107890.0915531.965301.80000-0.14201-0.077347-0.134571.186660.082100.0243602.049571.90000-0.12127-0.0671021.166040.059302.135332.00000-0.106021.147712.222462.10000

From this table, we form the series

1.50000+1.26952(x-1.72313)-0.19799(x-1.72313)(x-1.80190)
+0.12082(x-1.72313)(x-1.80190)(x-1.88268)
-0.039609(x-1.72313)(x-1.80190)(x-1.88268)(x-1.96530)
+0.091553(x-1.72313)(x-1.80190)(x-1.88268)(x-1.96530)(x-2.04957)
-0.13457(x-1.72313)(x-1.80190)(x-1.88268)(x-1.96530)(x-2.04957)(x-2.13533)

Substituting 2.00000 for x, we obtain 1.84140. Given that

1.84140+e-1.84140<2<1.84141+e-1.84141,

this answer is correct to all 5 decimal places.

In the presentation above, we tacitly assumed that there was asolution to our equation and focussed our attention on findingthat answer numerically. To completePlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath the treatment we willnow show that there indeed exists a unique solution to theequation x+e-x=2 in the interval (0,).

Existence follows from the intermediate value theorem. Asnoted above,

1.5+e-1.5<2<3+e-2.

Since x+e-x depends continuously on x, it followsthat there exists x(1.5,2) such that x+e-x=2.

As for uniqueness, note that the derivativePlanetmathPlanetmath of x+e-xis 1-e-x. When x>0, we have e-x<1, or1-e-x>0. Hence, x+e-x is a strictly increaingfunction of x, so there can be at most one x such thatx+e-x=2.
