Overview The Numerical Method: Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Modeling Stability Simulations Special Solutions

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Assumption: f(t, y) is smooth enough IVP: y = f(t, y)a t b y(a) = y 0 Taylor Polynomial about t i y(t i+1 ) = y(t i ) + h y(t i ) +…+ h n /n! y (n) (t i ) + O(h n+i ) y = f(t, y), y = f(t, y),…, y (k) = f (k-1) (t, y)

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Then, y(t i+1 ) = y(t i ) + h f(t i, y(t i )) +… + h n /n! f (n-1) (t i, y(t i )) + O(h n+i ) OR y i+1 = y i + h f(t i, y i ) +… + h n /n! f (n-1) (t i, y i ) + O(h n+i )

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Taylors Method, Order 2 w 0 = y 0 w i+1 = w i + h f(t i, w i ) + h 2 /2 f(t i, w i ) Good: Truncation Error is O(h n ) Bad: Computation of Derivatives (complicated and time consuming)

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Runge Kutta Methods: Truncation Error is O(h n ) No Computation of Derivatives

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Illustration: Taylors Order 2 Needs (1) f(t, y) + h/2 f(t, y) = f(t, y) + h/2 [ f t (t, y) + f y (t, y) y] = f(t, y) + h/2 f t (t, y) + h/2 f y (t, y) f(t, y) Taylors (again!) c f(t+a, y+b) = c f(t,y) + a c f t (t,y) + b c f y (t,y) + c R(*)

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Matching Coefficients: c = 1 c a = h/2 c b = h/2 which gives c = 1 a = h/2 b = h/2 f(t, y)

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Then (1) can be written: f( t + h/2, y + h/2 f(t, y) ) RK Order 2: w 0 = y 0 k 1 = h f(t i, w i ) k 2 = h f(t i + h/2, w i + k 1 /2) w i+1 = w i + k 2

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg RK Order 4: w 0 = y 0 k 1 = h f(t i, w i ) k 2 = h f(t i + h/2, w i + k 1 /2) k 3 = h f(t i + h/2, w i + k 2 /2) k 4 = h f(t i+1, w i + k 3 ) w i+1 = w i + 1/6 ( k k k 3 + k 4 )

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Further Improvement: Control the Error (predefined tolerance) Minimize the Number of Mesh Points

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Compute RK Order 4 approximation, w i+1 Compute RK Order 5 approximation, ŵ i+1 τ i+1 (q h) = q 4 /h (ŵ i+1 - w i+1 ) TOL Take q ( h TOL / | ŵ i+1 - w i+1 |) ¼ Result: ODE45 Command in MATLAB

Stability (cont.) Hyperbolic Equilibrium Point: An equilibrium point is hyperbolic if the Jacobian has no eigenvalues with the real part equal to zero (stability is based on the real part)

Stability (cont.) Hartman-Grobman Theorem Let ů=A*u be the linearization of ů=f(u). If A is hyperbolic, then both systems are equivalent around the equilibrium point.
