Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) using power series expansion methods such as Taylor’s series.
Aim
The aim of this experiment is to solve first-order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) using the power series expansion technique by carrying out the following steps:
- To represent the unknown function as a Taylor or power series around a chosen initial point.
- To substitute the series expansion into the given differential equation.
- To determine the coefficients of the series using the initial condition and the differential relationship.
- To generate an approximate analytical solution in power series form.
- To evaluate and visualize the behavior of the solution within a specified domain.
- To understand the effectiveness of power series methods for solving ODEs where standard analytical techniques are complex or inapplicable.
