Homework14 PDF

This document contains homework assignments for a numerical methods course at Jacobs University in Spring 2016. It includes two problems: the first asks students to apply Euler, Taylor series, and Runge-Kutta methods to solve an initial value ordinary differential equation, and the second asks students to use finite difference methods to compute the temperature at a point in space and time for a partial differential equation modeling heat transfer in a rod.

Spring 2016

Prof. Dr. Lars Linsen


Jacobs University

Due: not graded

Problem 30: Ordinary Differential Equations.


Given the initial value problem x0 (t) = (x(t))2 · t with x(1) = 1, apply

(a) two Euler steps,


(b) two second-order Taylor series steps, and
(c) two second-order Runge-Kutta steps

with step size h = 0.1.

Problem 31: Partial Differential Equation


Given the example provided in the lecture, i.e., the one with the temperature within a rod. Using step
size k = 41 in spatial domain and step size h = 12 in temporal domain, compute the temperature u(1, 12 )
at time 1 in the middle of the rod.
