Type and Solve ODE's
Pick and drag new initial point in the viewer window. This modifies the
initial x and y values. Initial values of higher
derivative of y can be modified inside the text field
Initial y.
Type a new differential equation. Whenever you type in a text field press
enter
to submit your changes. Use keyboard key i to switch back to mode
allowing picking of initial values:
| i | pick initial x and y
values |
The integrator is a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with constant step size.
Controls in ODE project panel:
| ODE text field | Type a new ordinary differential equation. Higher
derivatives of y must be denoted dy, d2y or
d3y. In this text field you can use all mathematical functions
shown in Expressions.html. |
| Text field "Order" | Defines the order (highest derivative of y)
of the differential equation |
| Slider "Step Size" | Discretization for x-values |
| Slider "Length" | Length of the x-interval to evaluate the
differential equation. |
| Slider "Initial x" | Minimum value for x-interval |
| Text fields "Initial y" | The first text field shows the initial y-value,
the second text field shows the initial value of the first derivative of
y, if "Order" is greater than 2, further text fields for the higher
derivatives are displayed. |
