Matlab program for the Euler method
SOLUTION OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS BY THE
EULER METHOD
f=input('\nEnter the differential equation in the form: dy/dx=f(x,y)\n','s');
x0=input('\nEnter the first point x0:\n');
x1=input('\nEnter the second point x1:\n');
Enter the initial condition y(x0):
n=input('\nEnter the number of steps n:\n');
h=(x1-x0)/n;
xs=x0:h:x1;
y1=y0;
it x0 x1 y1');
for i=1:n
it=i-1;
x0=xs(i);
x=x0;
x1=xs(i+1);
y=y0;
y1 = y0 + h * eval(f);
fprintf('\n%2.0f%10.6f%10.6f%10.6f\n', it, x0, x1, y1);
y0=y1;
end
The approximate point y(x1) is = %10.6f
Given the differential equation y' = √(x^2 + y^2), use the Euler method to
approximate y(2.3) taking as the number of steps n=3 if the initial condition is
y(2)=0.5
Respuesta: y(2.3) = 1.166470
