Detailed Description

Runge Kutta fourth order method implementation

Author

Rudra Prasad Das

It solves the unknown value of y for a given value of x only first order differential equations can be solved

Definition in file rungekutta.cpp.

Function Documentation

change()

double change ( double x, double y )

static

asserting the test functions

for io operations for using the vector container

The change() function is used to return the updated iterative value corresponding to the given function

Parameters

x	is the value corresponding to the x coordinate
y	is the value corresponding to the y coordinate

Returns

the computed function value at that call

Definition at line 33 of file rungekutta.cpp.

{ return ((x - y) / 2.0); }

main()

int main

(

void

)

Main function.

Returns

0 on exit

Definition at line 130 of file rungekutta.cpp.

           {
    test();  // Execute the tests
    return 0;
}

rungeKutta()

double numerical_methods::runge_kutta::rungeKutta	(	double	init_x,
		const double &	init_y,
		const double &	x,
		const double &	h )

the Runge Kutta method finds the value of integration of a function in the given limits. the lower limit of integration as the initial value and the upper limit is the given x

Parameters

init_x	is the value of initial x and is updated after each call
init_y	is the value of initial x and is updated after each call
x	is current iteration at which the function needs to be evaluated
h	is the step value

Returns

the value of y at thr required value of x from the initial conditions
