Numerical Analysis Euler Worksheet 1

Euler’s general method

yr + 1 = yr + hf(xr , yr)

and

xr + 1 = xr + h

Use Eulers’ method to solve the following

dy
1. Solve = 2xy. Solve for x = 0(0.2)0.6 given that x0 = 0, y0 = 1 and h = 0.2
dx

dy
2. Solve = x  y. Solve for x = 0(0.1)0.2 given that x0 = 0, y0 = 0 and h = 0.1
dx

dy
3. Solve = x 3  xy. Solve for x = 1.0(0.1)1.2 given that x0 = 1, y0 = 1 and h = 0.1
dx

dy
4. Solve = 2(1 + x)  y. Solve for x = 2(0.2)2.4 given that x0 = 2, y0 = 5 and h = 0.2
dx

dy
5. Solve = x 2 + 3y. Solve for x = 0(0.3)0.3 given that x0 = 0, y0 = 1 and h = 0.3
dx

dy
6. Solve = x 2 + 3y. Solve for x = 0(0.1)0.3 given that x0 = 0, y0 = 1 and h = 0.1
dx
Compare your answer with your answer to question 5. Which is the more accurate?

dy
7. Solve = 2x + y 2 . Solve for x = 0(0.1)0.3 given that x0 = 0, y0 = 1.4 and h = 0.1
dx
Improved Euler Method

y1* = y0 + hf(x0 , y0)

The gradient at the end of the interval can then be estimated by evaluating f(x1 , y1* ). The average
value of the two gradients replaces f(x0 , y0) in the Euler formula, so that;

 f(x , y )  f(x 1 , y1* ) 


y1 = y0 + h   0 0  or y1 = y0 + h  0.5{ f(x0 , y0) + f(x1 , y1 )}
