1.It is recommended to do Exercise 8.12 prior to the present one. Here we look at the same population growth model N (t) = rN(t), N(0) = N0. The time derivative N (t) can be approximated by various types of finite differences. Exercise 8.12 considers a backward difference (Fig. 8.22), while Sect. 8.2.2 explained the…

1.A general ODE problem u (t) = f (u, t), u(0) = U0, may be solved numerically by the third order Runge-Kutta method. The computational scheme reads un+1 = un + Δt 6 (k1 + 4k2 + k3) , n = 0, 1,…,Nt − 1, k1 = f (un, tn), k2 = f (un +…

1.Differing from the single-step methods presented in this chapter, we have the multistep methods, for example the Adams-Bashforth methods. With the single-step methods, un+1 is computed by use of the solution from the previous time step, i.e. un. In multi-step methods, the computed solutions from several previous time steps, e.g., un, un−1 and un−2 are…

1.Consider (8.43)–(8.44) modeling an oscillating engineering system. This 2×2 ODE system can be solved by the Backward Euler scheme, which is based on discretizing derivatives by collecting information backward in time. More specifically, u (t) is approximated as u (t) ≈ u(t) − u(t − Δt) Δt . A general vector ODE u = f…

1.Let y be a scalar function of time t and consider the nonlinear ODE y + y = ty3, t ∈ (0, 4), y(0) = 1 2 . a) Assume you want to solve this ODE numerically by the Backward Euler method. Derive the computational scheme and show that (contrary to the Forward Euler scheme)…

1.Vectorize the implementation of the function for computing the area of a polygon in Exercise 5.6. Make a test function that compares the scalar implementation in Exercise 5.6 and the new vectorized implementation for the test cases used in Exercise 5.6. 2.One can observe (and also mathematically prove) that the solution u(x, t) of the…
