Foil 8 Numerical techniques for solving ODE's

From Fox Presentation Fall 1995 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95/96/97. by Nancy McCracken and Geoffrey C. Fox
ODE's give an equation for the derivative of X with respect to time t
They can be classified (if second order) by the boundary conditions used
Initial value problems
  • Give initial value Xo for X and first derivative X'o
  • of X, X', at A
Boundary value
  • Give endpoint
  • values X o X1
  • for X
  • at A and B
