Adaptive Methods for Solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs)

Methods for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These methods are essential for
efficiently solving ODEs while maintaining a balance between accuracy and computational
effort. The discussion covers various algorithms, including `ode13`, `ode23`, and `ode45`, as
well as newer methods like `BV78` and `odevr7`. These algorithms are implemented in MATLAB,
and each has unique features and applications.

Key Algorithms:
- ode13: A one-step solver suitable for non-stiff problems with moderate accuracy
requirements.
- ode23: A solver designed for non-stiff problems that provides a good balance between
accuracy and efficiency.
- ode45: A widely used solver for non-stiff problems, known for its high accuracy and
robustness.
- BV78 and odevr7: Advanced methods that offer better performance for specific types of
problems.

Implementation Details:
The document provides a detailed explanation of how these methods are implemented in
MATLAB. It includes the usage of built-in functions, error estimation techniques, and step size
control mechanisms. The implementation focuses on ensuring accurate and efficient solutions
by dynamically adjusting the step size based on the local error estimates.

Error Analysis and Stability

A significant portion of the content is dedicated to error analysis and stability of numerical
methods. Understanding the sources of error in numerical solutions of ODEs is crucial for
selecting and implementing the appropriate method. The text explores the different types of
errors, including truncation errors and round-off errors, and how they affect the accuracy of the
solution.

Error Estimation:
The adaptive methods discussed use error estimation to control the step size and ensure the
desired accuracy. By estimating the local error at each step, the solver can adjust the step size
to maintain a balance between accuracy and computational effort.

Stability Analysis:
Stability is another critical factor when choosing a numerical method. The document examines
the stability properties of the discussed methods and their implications for long-term
integration of ODEs. Stable methods ensure that the numerical solution remains bounded and
accurate over time, even for large integration intervals.
