    This document provides instructions for a programming assignment to calculate derivatives of two functions, f(x) and g(y), using analytical and finite difference methods in MATLAB. Students are asked to: 1) Calculate the derivatives analytically, 2) Write MATLAB code to calculate the derivatives using forward, backward, and central differencing schemes, 3) Create a table to analyze the impact of schemes and step sizes, and 4) Compare the finite difference results to the analytical solutions and calculate percentage errors. The expected learning outcomes are to become familiar with the MATLAB online module, writing .m files, functions, and comparing discretization schemes and time steps.

    1) Consider the functions 𝑓(𝑥) = 6𝑥3 and 𝑔(𝑦) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛(2𝜋𝑦).
    ∂𝑓 ∂𝑔
    a) Determine the values of derivatives ∂𝑥
    at x = 3 and ∂𝑦 at y = 0.45, where y is in
    radians, analytically.
    ∂𝑓 ∂𝑔
    b) Write a MATLAB program to compute the derivatives ∂𝑥
    at x = 3 and ∂𝑦 at y =
    0.45, where y is in radians, using Finite Difference methods namely i) Forward
    difference, ii) Backward difference and iii) Central differencing schemes. Use step
    sizes of 0.01, 0.1 and 0.25 for both functions.
    c) Create a table to compare and analyse the impact of the choice of the various
    schemes and time steps used. Kindly use the below table format as reference.
    d) Compare the results of the Finite difference schemes with that of the Analytical
    solution and write down the percentage error obtained in each case.
    % Error = {(FDM result – Analytical result)/ Analytical result}*100%

    e) Using the results from the MATLAB program, as documented in the table
    mentioned in sub-division c), answer the ‘Fill in the blanks questions’ in the
    Programming assignment-1 portal.

    Expected learning outcomes from this assignment:


    1. To setup and use the MATLAB online module.
    2. To write a basic .m file to solve the assignment problem. The code could follow
    roughly the following algorithm although the candidate is encouraged to try and
    experiment with other methods too.
    Code Algorithm:

    1. Obtain input from the user for the value of ‘x’ and ‘time step size’
    2. Write three separate function blocks for solving the given equation in the question
    using Forward, Backward and Central difference schemes using values of ‘x’ and
    ‘time step size’ obtained from the user. Each function block must contain only the
    discretization formulas and not the equation itself. Eg:
    ∂𝑓 𝑓(𝑥 + ∆𝑥) ― 𝑓(𝑥)
    =
    ∂𝑥 ∆𝑥

    Where the 𝑓(𝑥 + ∆𝑥) must call another function with the equation given in the
    1 3
    problem. This avoids having to write the equation, say f(x) = 6
    𝑥 , in the
    discretization formula repeatedly.
    1
    3. Write a separate function for the equation, say f(x) = 6𝑥3, where the value of x
    must accommodate 𝑥 + ∆𝑥 or 𝑥 ― ∆𝑥 depending on the scheme being solved. This
    avoids having to write lengthy equations in the discretization formulae as such.
    4. Write a function to calculate the percentage error based on the formula given in
    the question. This function helps avoid having to write the same formula three
    times for each of the discretization scheme.
    5. Thus the code totally has 5 functions (3 for discretization schemes, 1 for the
    equation to be solved and 1 for the percentage error calculation).
    6. Display the values of the three schemes and their respective errors obtained for the
    supplied values of ‘x’ and ‘time step size’.
    7. Repeat the same procedure and write a separate script file for the function g(y).

    3. The above algorithm is just a guideline and the candidate is encouraged to write the
    MATLAB code as per his/ her interest. In fact, such different attempts are welcomed
    as the candidates can share their code with their peers for discussion once the
    assignment is closed. This will help everyone in learning better.
    4. On successful completion of this code, the candidate would be familiar with writing
    and compiling a MATLAB script file, writing algebraic equations and functions.
    5. The candidate can also compare the impact of the various discretization schemes and
    the time step on the accuracy of the solution obtained.
