A study of the effects of numerical error propagated through several independent stages: an electron optics simulation.

Abstract

"Presented is a study, combining numerical methods in a series of stages whereby each stage provides input data to its successor. A model problem from electron optics ii is studied in which a potential field is computed, gradient vectors calculated, and trajectory equations solved. Error effects in each stage is assessed for its influence on the final results of the numerical process mimicking the model problem. Error analysis is given in Appendix A. Finally, the superiority of Spline approximations for estimating derivatives is demonstrated"-- Abstract, p. ii
