Abstract. In scientific studies involving norm calculations, the choice of the
norm affects the obtained results. We have aimed to examine the behavior of
the step sizes using different norms and norm inequalities in step size strategy
obtained in [1] for linear Cauchy problems.
1. Introduction
Selection of step size is an important concept for the convergence of the numerical
solution to exact solution in numerical integration of differential equation systems.
For the use constant step size, it must be investigated how should be selected the
step size in the first step of numerical integration. Also, if the solution is changing
slowly in some regions and it is changing rapidly in some another regions then it
is not practical to use constant step size in numerical integration. So, we should
use small step sizes in the region where the solution changes rapidly and we should
choose larger step size in the region where the solution changes slowly. In literature,
step size strategies have been given for the numerical integration. Consider the
Cauchy problem
X 0 = F (t, X), X(t0 ) = X0
on the region D = {(t, X) : |t − t0 | ≤ T, |xj − xj0 | ≤ bj }, where X(t) = (xj (t)),
X0 = (xj0 ); xj0 = xj (t0 ), F (t, X) = (fj ); fj = fj (t, x1 , x2 , ..., xN ), F (t, X) ∈
C 1 ([t0 − T, t0 + T ] × RN ), X(t), X0 and b = (bj ) ∈ RN . In [1, 2] a step size strategy
for F (t, X) = AX is proposed by

THE ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF THE NORMS IN THE STEP SIZE ...

The above-mentioned step size strategies are based on matrix and vector norms.
As in all the scientific studies involving norm calculations, the choice of the norm
affects the obtained results in step size strategies.
The aim of this paper to examine the behavior of the step sizes using different
norms and norm inequalities in step size strategy obtained in [1] for linear Cauchy
problems. In section 2, we have introduced the step size strategy based on error
analysis for the linear systems (SSS). We have reminded commonly used vector and
matrix norms. In section 3, we have investigated the effects of choice of the norms
on step size strategy. Finally, we have analyzed the all strategies with numerical
examples.
2. The step size strategy and norms
2.1. The Step Size Strategy (SSS). Let us consider the Cauchy problem
X 0 = AX, X(t0 ) = X0 .
(2.1)
Following inequality is given
h2i
||A||2 ||Z(τi )||, τi ∈ [ti−1 , ti )
2
for the local error of the Cauchy problem (2.1) in i -th step of the numerical integration. According to equation (2.2), the upper bound of local error for the system
(2.1) is given by
√

(2.3)
||LEi || ≤ ( α2 βi−1 ) N 5 h2i ,

where
||A|| ≤ N
√
√maxi,j |aij | = N α,
√
||Z|| ≤ N maxj |zj | ≤ N maxj (supτi |zj (τi )|) ≤ N βi−1 .
From the inequality(2.3)in the stepi, the step size is calculated by
(2.2)
||LEi || ≤

such that the local error ||LEi || ≤ δL where δL is the error level that is determined
by user ([1, 2]).
While formulating the step sizes (2.4), a more practical way is obtained for
calculations by using the upper bound (2.3) instead of the upper bound (2.2) of
the local error. The effects of the calculation errors resulting from floating point
arithmetic are reduced in doing so.

2.2. Vector and Matrix Norms and Relations between Matrix Norms. A
norm is a real valued function that provides a measure of the size of vectors and
matrices. For X = (xj ) ∈ RN , some commonly used norms are given below. The
l2 norm (Euclidean norm) is defined by
PN
1
||X||2 = ( j=1 x2j ) 2 .
The l1 norm (sum norm) is given as
||X||1 =
PN
j=1 |xj |.
Another norm is formulated by
||X||∞ = maxj |xj |,
118

which is called as l∞ norm (maximum norm).
For A = (aij ) ∈ RM ×N , the most frequently used matrix norms are the l1
(maximum column) norm
PM
||A||1 = maxj i=1 |aj |,
the l∞ ( maximum row) norm
PN
||A||∞ = maxi j=1 |aj |,
the l2 (spectral) norm
p
||A||2 = λmax (AT A),
where λmax (AT A) is the maximum eigenvalue of the matrix AT A, Frobenius norm
PM PN

||A||F = ( i=1 j=1 |aij |2 ) 2 ,
and the maximum norm
||A||max = maxi,j |aij |.
We have used in our study the relations
p
√
||A||2 ≤ ||A||F , ||A||F ≤ N ||A||2 , ||A||2 ≤ N ||A||max , ||A||2 ≤ ||A||1 ||A||∞
which hold for all matrices A = (aij ) ∈ RN ×N . And we have also used the compatible norms in this study.
For all information about norms in this section, you can see for example [5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10].
3. An Analysis on the Effect of the Norms in the Step Size Selection
3.1. The Effect of Choice of Norm to Step Size Strategy. The inequality
(2.4) given in [1, 2] gives step sizes based on matrix and vector norms in the i -th
step of numerical integration of the Cauchy problem (2.1) such that local error is
smaller than δL error level. Different formulations are obtained for the step size
according to the choice of the norms in the inequality (2.2). Changes that occur in
step sizes may be significant. Now, let investigate the effect of the norms to step
sizes. In calculations consider that
||Z(τi )||k ≤ supτi ||Z(τi )||k ≤ βk,i−1 , k = 1, 2, ∞.
