Question
(2) You've used a numerical method with second-order global error to estimate the
value of a solution of a differential equation, and using 4 time steps you've got
an error not exceeding 0.25. How many times must you halve the step size to be
sure the error is less than 0.0001? How does the answer change if the method
were fifth-order instead?

Step 1

Sol:-

If the numerical method used has a second-order global error, we know that the error decreases quadratically with the step size, h. Therefore, if we halve the step size, the error should decrease by a factor of 4.

Let E(h) be the error associated with a step size h. If using a step size h results in an error not exceeding 0.25, then we have E(h) ≤ 0.25.
