Differential Equations - Euler's Method
tutorial.math.lamar.edu › Classes › DEDec 03, 2018 · So, here is a bit of pseudo-code that you can use to write a program for Euler’s Method that uses a uniform step size, h h. define f (t,y) f ( t, y). input t0 t 0 and y0 y 0. input step size, h h and the number of steps, n n. for j j from 1 to n n do. m= f (t0,y0) m = f ( t 0, y 0) y1 =y0+h ∗m y 1 = y 0 + h ∗ m.
global error in Euler's method - Mathematics Stack Exchange
math.stackexchange.com › questions › 3109359Feb 11, 2019 · If you posit that for the exact solution you get the formula $$ y(t_k+h)=y(t_k)+hf(t_k,y(t_k))+\frac{h^2}{2}l_k $$ where $l_k=y''(t_k+\theta_kh)$, $θ_k\in(0,1)$, then the error $e_k=y_k-y(t_k)$ propagates as $$ |e_{k+1}|=\left|e_k+h[f(t_k,y_k)-f(t_k,y(t_k))]-\frac{h^2}{2}l_k\right| \le |e_k|+hL|e_k|+\frac{h^2}{2}|l_k| $$ so that $$ |e_k|\le\sum_{j=0}^{k-1}(1+Lh)^{k-j-1}\frac{h^2}{2}|l_j| $$ You can now interpret this sum after further relaxing $(1+Lh)\le e^{Lh}$ as a Riemann sum for $$ |e_k ...
Error Analysis of the Euler Method
www.math.ubc.ca › ~israel › m215For the Euler method we have , so that This is a just a Riemann sum for the integral: for each interval we are approximating the area under the graph of by a rectangle with height . As you may have seen in calculus, the error in this approximation for each interval is at most if on the interval, and the global error at is then at most .
