Numerical and graphical solutions to ODEs
Differential equations that cannot be solved analytically can be solved
numerically or graphically as illustrated below.
Numerical solution of first-order ODE
Through the use of the numerical solver (‚Ï), you can access an input
form that lets you solve first-order, linear ordinary differential equations. The
use of this feature is presented using the following example. The method used
in the solution is a fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm preprogrammed in the
calculator.
Example 1
-- Suppose we want to solve the differential equation, dv/dt = -1.5
v
1/2
, with v = 4 at t = 0. We are asked to find v for t = 2.
First, create the expression defining the derivative and store it into variable
EQ. The figure to the left shows the ALG mode command, while the right-
hand side figure shows the RPN stack before pressing K.
Then, enter the NUMERICAL SOLVER environment and select the differential
equation solver: ‚Ϙ @@@OK@@@ . Enter the following parameters:
