1. Error handling in linear algebra
1.1 Problem position
The problem is essentially this: given a linear operator u, if a vector x is known to an accuracy ε, what accuracy can we expect for the vector u (x)? The notion of precision of a vector will be detailed by introducing norms. We will also study the inverse problem, relating to u -1 , which is essentially that of determining the precision of a solution to a linear equation.

The actual implementation of the methods described above requires highly precise computer techniques which the size of this article does not allow us to cover. In any case, "off-the-shelf" programs are not always well-suited to real-life situations, which may require prior simplifications, estimates of tolerable errors, etc.
