Lecture 30
Runge-Kutta
Methods
I gave a
general formula for the Runge-Kutta methods and we saw that all of our numerical
ODE solver's, excepting the Taylor methods, follow the Runge-Kutta
mold.
Adaptive
Methods
As we saw in
our study of numerical integration formula, the use of variable step sizes
adaptively on an ODE problem leads gains in efficiency and accuracy. Examples of
adaptive ODE solvers are Matlab's ode23 and ode45.
