Analysis of different second order systems via runge-kutta method

From MaRDI portal





The effectiveness of a Runge-Kutta method of fourth order is discussed by considering five different examples of differential equation systems of the following form: \[ \ddot x(t)=A\dot x(t),\qquad x(0)=x_0,\quad \dot x(0)=\dot x_0; \] respectively a stable system, an unstable system, a stiff system, a system with singular \(A\), and a singular system. The discrete solutions determined using the Runge-Kutta method are compared with the exact solutions. For the singular system the discrete solution is more accurate then in the other cases, and the final conclusion is that the Runge-Kutta method is more suitable for the singular second order system than for the other systems.
