truncation error

• Error que aparece al aproximar un proceso matemático o computacional mediante el truncamiento (corte) de una serie infinita o de un desarrollo decimal, lo que conlleva una pérdida de precisión.

An error that occurs when a mathematical or computational process is approximated by cutting off (truncating) an infinite series or decimal expansion, resulting in a loss of precision.

1. Numerical approximation errorC1formal

   An error that occurs when a mathematical process is approximated by truncating an infinite series or iterative process, resulting in a difference between the exact value and the approximated value.

   Error de truncamiento

   • The truncation error in the Taylor series approximation was minimized by including more terms.
   • When using numerical integration, truncation errors can accumulate if the step size is too large.
   • The algorithm's accuracy is limited by the truncation error of the finite difference method.
