An error analysis of finite-difference methods for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations

NON-STANDARD FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF SECOND ORDER LINEAR FREDHOLM INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this article we have considered a non-standard finite difference method for the solution of second order  Fredholm integro differential equation type initial value problems. The non-standard finite difference method and the composite trapezoidal quadrature method is used to transform the Fredholm integro-differential equation into a system of equations. We have also developed a numerical met...

Matlab : Numerical Solution of Ordinary Differential Equations

Matlab has facilities for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of any order. In this document we first consider the solution of a first order ODE. Higher order ODEs can be solved using the same methods, with the higher order equations first having to be reformulated as a system of first order equations. Techniques for solving the first order and second order equation...

Nonstandard finite difference schemes for differential equations

In this paper, the reorganization of the denominator of the discrete derivative and nonlocal approximation of nonlinear terms are used in the design of nonstandard finite difference schemes (NSFDs). Numerical examples confirming then efficiency of schemes, for some differential equations are provided. In order to illustrate the accuracy of the new NSFDs, the numerical results are compared with ...

Numerical solution of ordinary differential equations

Ordinary differential equations are ubiquitous in science and engineering: in geometry and mechanics from the first examples onwards (Newton, Leibniz, Euler, Lagrange), in chemical reaction kinetics, molecular dynamics, electronic circuits, population dynamics, and many more application areas. They also arise, after semidiscretization in space, in the numerical treatment of time-dependent parti...
