Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) using various methods such as Euler’s and Runga-Kutta methods.
Procedure
Select the Differential Equation
- Enter the differential equation in dy/dt format using ‘y’ as the dependent variable and ‘t’ as the independent variable.
- Provide the initial condition by setting the initial time (t₀) and the initial value of the function (y₀).
Set the Solver Parameters
- Specify the final time (tₙ) to define the interval for the solution.
- Enter the number of steps to divide the interval into, which controls accuracy.
Choose a Numerical Method
- Select Euler’s Method for a basic first-order approximation.
- Select 4th Order Runge-Kutta Method for higher accuracy using multiple slope evaluations.
Run the Simulation
- Click on the Simulate button to compute the solution of the ODE.
Analyze the Output
- Observe the numerical results displayed in the output section.
- View the plotted graph to analyze how the solution evolves over time.
- Repeat with different step sizes or methods to compare accuracy and stability.
