00:01 Dear Friends, Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Solving ODEs using Euler Methods.
00:09 At the end of this tutorial, you will learn how to:
00:12 Solve ODEs using Euler and Modified Euler methods in Scilab
00:18 Develop Scilab code to solve ODEs.
00:22 To record this tutorial, I am using
00:25 Ubuntu 12.04 as the operating system
00:28 and Scilab 5.3.3 version.
00:32 To practice this tutorial, a learner
00:34 should have basic knowledge of Scilab
00:37 and should know how to solve ODEs.
00:40 To learn Scilab, please refer to the relevant tutorials available on the Spoken Tutorial website.
00:48 In Euler method, we get an accurately approximate solution of the ODE.
00:55 It is used to solve initial value problems where initial values of the differential equation are given.
01:03 It can be used to solve continuous functions.
01:08 Let us solve an example using Euler method.
01:12 We are given an initial value problem -
01:15 y dash is equal to minus two t minus y.
01:20 The initial value of y is given as minus one(-1)
01:25 and the step length is given as zero point one(0.1).
01:29 We have to find the value of y at time t equal to zero point five.
01:36 Let us look at the code for Euler method.
01:39 Open Euler underscore o d e dot sci on Scilab editor.
01:47 We define the function Euler underscore o d e with arguments f, t init, y init, h and N
01:58 'where: f denotes the function to be solved,
02:01 t init is the initial value of time t,
02:05 y init is the initial value of y,
02:09 h is the step length and n is the number of iterations.
02:14 Then we initialize the values of t and y to vectors of zeros.
02:21 We place the initial values of t and y in t of one and y of one respectively.
02:29 Then we iterate from one to N to find the value of y.
02:33 Here we apply Euler method to find the value of y.
02:39 Finally we end the function.
02:42 Save and execute the file Euler underscore o d e dot sci.
02:49 Switch to Scilab console to solve the example problem.
02:54 We define the function by typing
02:56 d e f f open parenthesis open single quote open square bracket y dot close square bracket equal to f of t comma y close single quote comma open single quote y dot equal to open parenthesis minus two asterisk t close parenthesis minus y close single quote close parenthesis
03:26 Press Enter.
03:28 Then type: t init is equal to zero.
03:31 Press Enter.
03:33 Type: y init is equal to minus one.
03:38 Press Enter .
03:40 Type: step length h is equal to zero point one.
03:44 Press Enter.
03:46 The step length is zero point one and we have to find the value of y at zero point five.
03:53 So, the number of iterations should be five.
03:59 At each iteration, the value of t will be increased by zero point one.
04:05 So type capital N is equal to five (N=5)
04:09 and press Enter.
04:11 To call the function, type:
04:14 open square bracket t comma y close square bracket equal to Euler underscore o d e open parenthesis f comma t init comma y init comma h comma capital N close parenthesis
04:33 Press Enter.
04:35 The value of y at t equal to zero point five is shown.
04:41 Now let us look at Modified Euler method.
04:45 It is a second order method and is a stable two step method.
04:51 We find the average of the function at the beginning and end of time step.
04:56 Let us solve this example using Modified Euler method.
05:02 We are given a function y dash is equal to t plus y plus t y.
05:08 The initial value of y is one
05:12 and the step length is zero point zero one.
05:16 We have to find the value of y at time t equal to zero point one using Modified Euler's method.
05:25 Let us look at the code for Modified Euler method on Scilab Editor.
05:31 We define the function with arguments f, t init, y init, h and n
05:39 where: f is the function to be solved,
05:42 t init is the intial time value,
05:45 y init is the inital value of y,
05:49 h is the step length and
05:51 N is the number of iterations.
05:54 Then we initialize the arrays for y and t.
05:58 We place the initial values of t and y in t of one and y of one respectively.
06:07 We implement Modified Euler Method here.
06:11 Here we find the average value of y at the beginning and end of time step.
06:17 Save and execute the file Modi Euler underscore o d e dot sci.
06:23 Switch to Scilab console.
06:26 Clear the screen by typing c l c.
06:30 Press Enter.
06:32 Define the function by typing d e f f open parenthesis open single quote open square bracket y dot close square bracket equal to f of t comma y close single quote comma open single quote y dot equal to t plus y plus t asterisk y close single quote close parenthesis
07:01 Press Enter.
07:03 Then type: t init equal to zero, press Enter.
07:08 Type: y init equal to one and press Enter.
07:12 Then type: h equal to zero point zero one press Enter.
07:19 Type: capital N equal to ten
07:22 since the number of iterations should be ten to time t equal to zero point one with step length of zero point zero one.
07:34 Press Enter.
07:36 Then call the function Modi Euler underscore o d e by typing:
07:41 open square bracket t comma y close square bracket equal to Modi Euler underscore o d e open parenthesis f comma t init comma y init comma h comma capital N close parenthesis
08:03 Press Enter.
08:05 The value of y at t equal to zero point one is shown.
08:10 Let us summarize this tutorial.
