Numerical Methods and Convergence
Research gap analysis derived from 2 biology papers in our local library.
The gap
Theoretical analysis of convergence rates and error bounds for numerical schemes is lacking in most papers.
Consensus across the literature
Most papers leave open the theoretical analysis of convergence rates and error bounds for their respective numerical methods.
