1 Fin solution to ODE /=f(). Instructor: Nam Sun Wang oe.mc Backgroun. Wen a sstem canges wit time or wit location, a set of ifferential equations tat contains erivative terms "/" escribe suc a namic sstem. In contrast, algebraic equations escribe a static sstem. Static: algebraic equation: f( ) Dnamic: ifferential equation: g or f( )... stanar form were is te inepenent variable, an is te epenent variable tat varies wit. Wen tere is onl one inepenent variable te equation is calle an orinar ifferential equation (ODE); te function f() tat appears on te RHS in te equation above escribes ow canges (i.e.,) wit canges in (i.e., ). Wen tere are more tan one inepenent variables (sa t for time an z for spatial coorinates), te equation is calle a partial ifferential equation, wic is not aresse ere. Partial ifferential equation: g t,, t... not aresse ere e number of equations can be one or man. In te former case, is a scalar function of an f similarl is a scalar function of bot an. In te latter case, is a vector function of an f too is a vector function of bot an. us, if we allow to be eiter a scalar function or a vector function, te same matematical equation escribes bot a one equation case an a multiple couple equation case. A special case of an ODE is wen f is a function of onl ; in tat case, te solution is a efinite integral. f( ) ( ) f( ξ ) ξ Fin () b evaluating te efinite integral Anoter special case of an ODE is wen f is a function of onl ; in tat case, an implicit solution eists in te form of an integral algebraic equation. f( ) ψ f( ψ) A more general case is wen f is a function of bot an. Fin () b solving te algebraic equation. f( ) Initial Conition (I.C.)... initial value problem f(, ) Bounar Conition (B.C.),... bounar value problem

2 oe.mc In contrast to a set of algebraic equations f()= were a single point is a solution, in ODE, a function () efine in te interval of interest =[a b] constitutes a solution. Wen all te conitions are given at, one single value of te ODE is classifie as an initial value problem (even wen is not te initial point, sa te en point or at a mi-poinn te interval of interest [a b]). Wen te conitions are given at more tan one point of sa at bot an, te ODE is classifie as a bounar value problem (even wen is not locate at te two bounaries a & b). In general, tere are infinite number of functions () tat satisf te ODE /=f(). However, wen an initial conition is impose, tere is onl one unique solution, accoring to te eistence an uniqueness teorem. is is analogous to linear algebraic equations aving one unique solution. Wen bounar conitions are impose instea, anting is possible: no solution, one solution, or multiple solutions. is is analogous to nonlinear algebraic equations aving te possibilities of no solution, one solution, or multiple solutions. In aition, te total number of conitions tat can be impose equals te number of first-orer ifferential equations. is is analogous to aving to matc te number of unknowns to te number of inepenent equations in solving algebraic equations. f( ) I.C. analogous A. b f(, ) B.C. f( ( a), '( a), ( b), '( b ) ) analogous f( ) Stanar notation: /=f(). o evelop a sstematic approac to solving orinar ifferential equations, we use te "stanar" first-orer /=f() notation. o re-write a given ifferential equation into tis stanar form, is a matter of moving all te first erivative terms to te LHS of te equation an leaving everting else on te RHS. All n-orer or iger orer erivatives are first transforme to te "stanar" first-orer /=f()= form.

5 5 oe.mc Numerical Algoritm #. Euler's Meto. Numericall we approimate te solution curve () wit a series of paire points ( i, i ), were te ine i represents te it point; i=..n (i.e., n steps intervals). We start te solution curve () wit te given value of = at =. We ten approimate te value of at te net point = +, were is te step size Δ=. An estimate of cange in (Δ) over tis interval Δ is given b f(, ), i.e., te function evaluate at te starting point (, ). In oter wors, te slope witin tis interval is estimate b te slope at te starting point. Δ Δ f, Δ f, Δ f,. f, Basicall we estimate =( ). Once we know (te value of at ), we can regar as te starting point an fin =( ) (te value of at ). f, We repeat tis process to avance te curve () step after step until we cover te entire range of interest. i i f i, i... Euler's iteration formula i E f.5 Euler's Meto slope = k =f(, ) In Euler's meto, te slope witin an interval is estimate b te one slope evaluate at te starting point (, ) of te interval. e given function f() epens on bot an ; tus, its value is constantl canging witin te interval an f(, ) oes not best represent of te average slope in tis interval. Man moifications eist. Basicall ifferent versions mainl iffer in te location were f() is evaluate (i.e., were slopes are estimate), te number of locations (i.e., te number of slopes), an ow te evaluate values of f() are weigte in fining te average value (i.e., ow to average slopes). k

6 oe.mc n-orer Meto. e first slope is evaluate at te starting point, as in te Euler's Meto. A secon slope is evaluate at te mi-point of te interval, wit te value at te mi-point estimate base on te st slope. An te average slope is a combination of te first slope an te secon slope. Sometimes, te two slopes are weigte equall. Sometimes, te secon slope evaluate at te mi-poins weigte more eavil sa X as muc as te first slope evaluate at te starting point, because te mi-point value is likel to be more representative of te slope in te interval. st slope, evaluate at (, ): k f, n slope, evaluate at mi-point of interval, i.e., at ( +/, +k /): k f, Average slope: k ave k k Estimate at :. k ave or k ave k. k 3 or some oter weigting sceme k. i n-orer Meto slope = k =f( +/, +k /).5 slope = k =f(, ) slope = k ave =(k +k )/3 k 3.5 3r-Orer Meto. We continue te n-orer meto above an evaluate te tir slope at te mi-point, wit te value at te mi-point estimate base on te n slope. st slope, evaluate at (, ): n slope, evaluate at mi-point of interval, i.e., at ( +/, +k /): k f, k f, k. 3r slope, evaluate at mi-point of interval, i.e., at ( +/, +k /): k 3 f, k k k k k. k. k 3 Average slope: k ave or k ave or some oter weigting sceme 3 5 Estimate at :. k ave i

We continue te 3r-orer meto above an evaluate te fourt slope at, te en of te step, wit te value at te en of te step estimate base on te 3r slope. k f, st slope, evaluate at (, ): k f, k n slope, evaluate at mi-point of interval, i.e., at ( +/, +k /): 3r slope, evaluate at mi-point of interval, i.e., at ( +/, +k /): k 3 f, k. 3r slope, evaluate at en of interval, i.e., at ( +, +k 3 ): k 4 f, k 3 k k k 4 Average slope: k ave 4 Estimate at : k ave k. k. k 3 k 4 or k ave or some oter weigting sceme k 4t-Orer Meto slope = k 4 =f( +, +k 3 ) slope = k =f( +/, +k /).5 slope = k =f(, ) slope = k ave =(k + k + k 3 )/5 slope = k 3 =f( +/, +k /) slope = k.5

8 8 oe.mc Runge-Kutta's 4t-Orer Meto. We can go on an evaluate more slopes at more points witin te interval =[ ]. However, past stuies ave sown tat slopes more tan four cease to improve results. us, is common to stop at evaluating four slopes. In Runge-Kutta's 4t orer meto, te slopes at te mi-point (k an k 3 ) are generall weigte twice as eavil as tose evaluate at te starting point (k ) an at te en point (k 4 ). As in te Euler's meto, te en point of te previous step becomes te starting point of te net step, an we repeat te process until we cover te entire interval of interest. Summar. k f i, st slope, evaluate at (i, i i ): k f i, k n slope, evaluate at mi-point of interval, i.e., at ( i i +/, i +k /): 3r slope, evaluate at mi-point of interval, i.e., at ( i +/, i +k /): k 3 f i, i k. 3r slope, evaluate at en of interval, i.e., at ( i +, i +k 3 ): k 4 f i, i k 3 Average slope: k ave k. k. k 3 k 4 Start at te given I.C. (, ), iterate: i i. k ave Avantages & Disavantages. e avantage of te Euler's meto is tat requires onl one slope evaluation an is simple to appl especiall for iscretel sample (eperimental) ata points; te isavantage is tat errors accumulate uring successive iterations an te results are not ver accurate. e avantage of te Runge-Kutta's metos is tas accurate, but requires four slope evaluations at four ifferent points of (); tese slope evaluations are not possible for iscretel sample ata points, because all we ave is was given to us an we o not get to coose at will were to evaluate slopes. is is analogous to estimating a efinite integral wit te trapezoial rule -- if iscrete points are given to us, we o not get to ivie into finer steps at will to improve accurac sa we o not get to evaluate at a point alfwa between an wen we are given te table below.
