Slide 1	Dear Friends, Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “Solving ODEs using Scilab ode Function”
Slide 2 -Learning Objective Slide	At the end of this tutorial, you will learn how to: Use Scilab ode function Solve typical examples of ODEs and Plot the solution
Slide 3 -Learning Objective Slide	The typical examples we will be solving are: Motion of simple pendulum Van der Pol equation Lorenz system
Slide 4-System Requirement slide	To record this tutorial, I am using Ubuntu 12.04 as the operating system and Scilab 5.3.3 version
Slide 5- Prerequisites slide	To practise this tutorial, a learner should have basic knowledge of Scilab and should know how to solve ODEs. To learn Scilab, please refer to the relevant tutorials available on the Spoken Tutorial website.
Slide 6- ode Function	The ode function is an ordinary differential equation solver. The syntax is y equal to ode within paranthesis y zero, t zero, t and f Here y zero is the initial conditon of the ODEs t zero is the initial time t is the time range and f is the function
Slide 7- Motion of Simple pendulum	Consider the motion of simple pendulum. Let theta t be the angle made by the penndulum with the vertical at time t. We are given the initial conditions theta zero is equal to pi by four and theta dash of zero is equal to zero.
Slide 8- Motion of Simple pendulum	Then the position of the pendulum is described by theta double dash t minus g by l into sin of theta t equal to zero. Here g equal to 9.8 m per second square is the acceleration due to gravity and l equal to zero point five meter is the length of the pendulum.
Slide 9- Motion of Simple pendulum	For the given initial conditions, we have to solve the ODE within the time range zero less than equal to t less than equal to five. We also have to plot the solution.
Open Pendulum.sci on Scilab Editor	Let us look at the code for solving this problem. Open pendulum dot sci on Scilab editor.
Highlight y0=[%pi/4 0]'; t0=0; t=0:1:5	The first line of the code defines the initial conditions of the ODE. Then we define the intial time value. And we provide the time range.
Highlight function dy=Pendulum(t, y) dy(1) = y(2); dy(2) = (9.8/0.5)*sin(y(1)); endfunction	Next, we convert the given equation to a system of first order ODEs. We substitute the values of g and l. Here we take y to be the given variable theta and y dash to be theta dash.
Highlight y=ode(y0,t0,t,Pendulum)	Then we call the ode function with arguments y zero, t zero, t and the function Pendulum.
Highlight plot(t,y(1,:),'-*',t,y(2,:),'-')	The solution to the equation will be a matrix with two rows. The first row will contain the values of y in the given time range. The second row will contain the values of y dash within the time range. Hence we plot both the rows with respect to time.
Click on Execute and select Save and Execute	Save and execute the file Pendulum dot sci
Show plot	The plot shows how the values of y and y dash vary with time.
Switch to Scilab console	Switch to Scilab console
Type y Press Enter	If you want to see the values of y, type y on the console and press Enter. The values of y and y dash are displayed.
Slide 10- Van der Pol Equation	Let us solve Van der Pol equation using the ode function. We are given the equation v double dash of t plus epsilon into v of t square minus one into v dash of t plus v of t equal to zero. The initial conditions are v of two equal to one and v dash of two equal to zero. Assume epsilon is equal to zero point eight nine seven. We have to find the solution within the time range two less than t less than ten and then plot the solution.
Open Vanderpol.sci on scilab editor	Let us look at the code for Van der Pol equation. Switch to Scilab editor and open van der pol dot sci.
Highlight y0=[1 0]'; t0=0; t=2:1:10;	We define the initial conditions of the ODEs and time and then define the time range. Since the inital time value is given as two, we start the time range at two.
Highlight function dy=Vanderpol(t, y) dy(1) = y(2); dy(2) = -0.897*(y(1).^2 - 1)*y(2) - y(1); endfunction	Then we define the function van der pol and construct a system of first order ODEs. We substitute the value of epsilon with zero point eight nine seven. Here y refers to the voltage v.
Highlight y=ode(y0,t0,t,Vanderpol)	Then we call ode function and solve the system of equations.
Highlight plot(t,y(1,:),'-',t,y(2,:),'--')	Finally we plot y and y dash versus t.
Click on Execute and select Save and Execute	Save and execute the file van der pol dot sci.
Show plot	The plot showing voltage versus time is shown. Let's move onto Lorenz system of equations.
Slide 11, 12- Lorenz system	The Lorenz system of equations is given by x one dash equal to sigma into x two minus x one, x two dash equal to one plus r minus x three into x one minus x two and x three dash equal to x one into x two minus b into x three. The initial conditions are x one zero equal to minus ten, x two zero equal to ten and x three zero equal to twenty five. Let sigma be equal to ten, r be equal to twenty eight and b equal to eight by three.
Open Lorenz.sci on Scilab editor	Switch to Scilab editor and open Lorenz dot sci
Highlight x0=[-10 10 25]'; t0=0; t=0:1:25;	We start by defining the initial conditions of the ODEs. Since there are three different ODEs, there are three initial conitions. Then we define the inital time condition and next the time range.
Highlight function dx=Lorenz(t, x) sigma = 10; r = 28; b = 8/3; dx(1) = sigma*(x(2) - x(1) ); dx(2) = ((1 + r) - x(3))*x(1) - x(2); dx(3) = x(1)*x(2) - b*x(3); endfunction	We define the function Lorenz and then define the given constants sigma, r and b. Then we define the first order ODEs.
Highlight x=ode(x0,t0,t,Lorenz)	Then we call the ode function to solve the Lorenz system of equations. We equate the solution to x.
Highlight plot(t,x(1,:),'**',t,x(2,:),'--', t,x(3,:),'..')	Then we plot x one, x two and x three versus time.
Click on Execute and select Save and Execute	Save and execute the file Lorenz dot sci.
Show plot	The plot of x one, x two and x three versus time is shown.
Slide 13- Summary	Let us summarize this tutorial. In this tutorial we have learnt to develop Scilab code to solve an ODE using Scilab ode function. Then we have learnt to plot the solution.
