Euler's Method for Differential Equations

The document outlines the application of Euler's Method to solve three different differential equations with specified initial conditions and step sizes. The results include approximations for y values at given x points for each equation. The calculations are presented in tabular format, showing the iteration index, x values, and corresponding y values.

Euler's Method

1) Solve the following differential equation using Euler' s Method with step size h =
0.5 for values of x in the range [0, 1]
dy/dx = x + y ; y (0) = 2.
In[22]:= x[0] = 0; y[0] = 2; n = 2; h = 0.5;
f[x_ , y _] := x + y;
list = "i", "x", "y", {0, x[0], y[0]};
Fori = 1, i ≤ n, i ++, x[i] = x[i - 1] + h;
y[i] = y[i - 1] + h * f[x[i - 1], y[i - 1]];
values = i, x[i], y[i];
AppendTo[list, values]
Grid[list, Dividers → All]

Out[26]=

i x y
0 0 2
1 0.5 3.
2 1. 4.75

2) Using Euler' s method, approximate


dy/dx = x + 2 y ; y (0) = 0.
Take step size as 0.1. Find y(0.4)
In[27]:= x[0] = 0; y[0] = 0; n = 4; h = 0.1;
f[x_ , y _] := x + 2 y;
list = "i", "x", "y", {0, x[0], y[0]};
Fori = 1, i ≤ n, i ++, x[i] = x[i - 1] + h;
y[i] = y[i - 1] + h * f[x[i - 1], y[i - 1]];
values = i, x[i], y[i];
AppendTo[list, values]
Grid[list, Dividers → All]
Out[31]=

i x y
0 0 0
1 0.1 0.
2 0.2 0.01
3 0.3 0.032
4 0.4 0.0684

3) Using Euler' s method, approximate


dy/dx + 0.5 y = 4 exp(0.8 x) ; y (0) = 2.
Take step size as 1. Find y (4)
In[32]:= x[0] = 0; y[0] = 2; n = 4; h = 1;
f[x_ , y _] := 4 Exp0.8 x - 0.5 y;
list = "i", "x", "y", {0, x[0], y[0]};
Fori = 1, i ≤ n, i ++, x[i] = x[i - 1] + h;
y[i] = y[i - 1] + h * f[x[i - 1], y[i - 1]];
values = i, x[i], y[i];

i x y

1 1 5.
2 2 11.4022
3 3 25.5132
4 4 56.8493
