how can i get an improved Euler's method code for this function?

15 次查看(过去 30 天)
dy = @(x,y).2*x*y;
f = @(x).2*exp(x^2/2);
x0=1;
xn=1.5;
y=1;
h=0.1;
fprintf ('x \t \t y (euler)\t y(analytical) \n') % data table header
fprintf ('%f \t %f\t %f\n' ,x0,y,f(x0));
for x = x0 : h: xn-h
y = y + dy(x,y)*h;
x = x + h ;
fprintf (
'%f \t %f\t %f\n' ,x,y,f(x));
end

Euler has its limit to solve differential equations. You can change the integration step going towards the optimum step that is given by the minimum of the sum of the truncation error and step error, but you cannot improve further. What do you mean by improve?

There are two problems with your code:
  • The analytical solution is incorrect
  • You increment x inside the for loop. Don't. The for loop does this automatically.
Here is a corrected version:
a = 0.2;
y0 = 1;
x0 = 1;
xn = 1.5;
h = 0.1;
dy = @(x,y)a*x*y; % dy/dx
f = @(x) y0*exp(a/2*(x.^2-1)); % Correct analytic solution
y = y0;
fprintf ('x \t \t y (euler)\t y(analytical) \n') % data table header
fprintf ('%f \t %f\t %f\n' ,x0,y,f(x0));
for x = x0+h : h: xn
y = y + dy(x,y)*h;
fprintf ('%f \t %f\t %f\n' ,x,y,f(x));
end
Choose a smaller step length h to for better accuracy. Alternatively try a higher order method like Runge-Kutta.

The "Modified" Euler's Method is usually referring to the 2nd order scheme where you average the current and next step derivative in order to predict the next point. E.g.,
dy1 = dy(x,y); % derivative at this time point
dy2 = dy(x+h,y+h*dy1); % derivative at next time point from the normal Euler prediction
y = y + h * (dy1 + dy2) / 2; % average the two derivatives for the Modified Euler step
