First Order Ode Calculator With Steps

[Shari Alvine]

t,y] =ode45(odefun,tspan,y0),where tspan = [t0 tf], integrates the system ofdifferential equations y'=f(t,y) from t0 to tf withinitial conditions y0. Each row in the solutionarray y corresponds to a value returned in columnvector t.

All MATLAB ODE solvers can solve systems of equations ofthe form y'=f(t,y),or problems that involve a mass matrix, M(t,y)y'=f(t,y).The solvers all use similar syntaxes. The ode23s solveronly can solve problems with a mass matrix if the mass matrix is constant. ode15s and ode23t cansolve problems with a mass matrix that is singular, known as differential-algebraicequations (DAEs). Specify the mass matrix using the Mass optionof odeset.

ode45 is a versatile ODE solver and is thefirst solver you should try for most problems. However, if the problemis stiff or requires high accuracy, then there are other ODE solversthat might be better suited to the problem. See Choose an ODE Solver formore information.

[t,y] =ode45(odefun,tspan,y0,options) alsouses the integration settings defined by options,which is an argument created using the odeset function.For example, use the AbsTol and RelTol optionsto specify absolute and relative error tolerances, or the Mass optionto provide a mass matrix.

For each event function, specify whether the integration isto terminate at a zero and whether the direction of the zero crossingmatters. Do this by setting the 'Events' propertyto a function, such as myEventFcn or @myEventFcn,and creating a corresponding function: [value,isterminal,direction]= myEventFcn(t,y).For more information, see ODE Event Location.

Solve the ODE using the ode45 function on the time interval [0 20] with initial values [2 0]. The resulting output is a column vector of time points t and a solution array y. Each row in y corresponds to a time returned in the corresponding row of t. The first column of y corresponds to y1, and the second column corresponds to y2.

The time step chosen by the solver at each step is based on the equation in the system that needs to take the smallest step. This means the solver can take small steps to satisfy the equation for one initial condition, but the other equations, if solved on their own, would use different step sizes. Despite this, solving for multiple initial conditions at the same time is generally faster than solving the equations separately using a for-loop.

Solve the equation over the time interval [1 5] using ode45. Specify the function using a function handle so that ode45 uses only the first two input arguments of myode. Also, loosen the error thresholds using odeset.

Solve the van der Pol equation with μ=1 using ode45. The function vdp1.m ships with MATLAB and encodes the equations. Specify a single output to return a structure containing information about the solution, such as the solver and evaluation points.

The function dydt = odefun(t,y), for a scalar t and a column vector y, must return a column vector dydt of data type single or double that corresponds to f(t,y). odefun must accept both input arguments t and y, even if one of the arguments is not used in the function.

Interval of integration, specified as a vector. At a minimum, tspan must be a two-element vector [t0 tf] specifying the initial and final times. To obtain solutions at specific times between t0 and tf, use a longer vector of the form [t0,t1,t2,...,tf]. The elements in tspan must be all increasing or all decreasing.

If tspan has more than two elements [t0,t1,t2,...,tf], then the solver returns the solution evaluated at the given points. However, the solver does not step precisely to each point specified in tspan. Instead, the solver uses its own internal steps to compute the solution, and then evaluates the solution at the requested points in tspan. The solutions produced at the specified points are of the same order of accuracy as the solutions computed at each internal step.

If tspan contains several intermediate points [t0,t1,t2,...,tf], then the specified points give an indication of the scale for the problem, which can affect the value of InitialStep used by the solver. Therefore, the solution obtained by the solver might be different depending on whether you specify tspan as a two-element vector or as a vector with intermediate points.

The initial and final values in tspan are used to calculate the maximum step size MaxStep. Therefore, changing the initial or final values in tspan can cause the solver to use a different step sequence, which might change the solution.

Structure for evaluation, returned as a structure array. Use this structure with the deval function to evaluate the solution at any point in the interval [t0 tf]. The sol structure array always includes these fields:

Enter the function you want to differentiate into the Derivative Calculator. Skip the f(x)= part! The Derivative Calculator will show you a graphical version of your input while you type. Make sure that it shows exactly what you want. Use parentheses, if necessary, e.g. a/(b+c). Write decimal fractions with a period instead of a comma, e.g. 3.141.

First, a parser analyzes the mathematical function. It transforms it into a form that is better understandable by a computer, namely a tree (see figure below). In doing this, the Derivative Calculator has to respect the order of operations. A specialty in mathematical expressions is that the multiplication sign can be left out sometimes, for example we write 5x instead of 5*x. The Derivative Calculator has to detect these cases and insert the multiplication sign.

The parser is implemented in JavaScript, based on the Shunting-yard algorithm, and can run directly in the browser. This allows for quick feedback while typing by transforming the tree into LaTeX code. MathJax takes care of displaying it in the browser.

When the "Go!" button is clicked, the Derivative Calculator sends the mathematical function and the settings (differentiation variable and order) to the server, where it is analyzed again. This time, the function gets transformed into a form that can be understood by the computer algebra system Maxima.

Maxima takes care of actually computing the derivative of the mathematical function. Like any computer algebra system, it applies a number of rules to simplify the function and calculate the derivatives according to the commonly known differentiation rules. Maxima's output is transformed to LaTeX again and is then presented to the user.

The "Check answer" feature has to solve the difficult task of determining whether two mathematical expressions are equivalent. Their difference is computed and simplified as far as possible using Maxima. For example, this involves writing trigonometric/hyperbolic functions in their exponential forms. If it can be shown that the difference simplifies to zero, the task is solved. Otherwise, a probabilistic algorithm is applied that evaluates and compares both functions at randomly chosen places.

The interactive function graphs are computed in the browser and displayed within a canvas element (HTML5). For each function to be graphed, the calculator creates a JavaScript function, which is then evaluated in small steps in order to draw the graph. While graphing, singularities (e.g. poles) are detected and treated specially. The gesture control is implemented using Hammer.js.

For general information about first-order optimality, see Nocedaland Wright [31]. For specifics aboutthe first-order optimality measures for Optimization Toolbox solvers,see Unconstrained Optimality, Constrained Optimality Theory, and Constrained Optimality in Solver Form.

Some solvers or algorithms use relative first-orderoptimality as a stopping criterion. Solver iterations end if the first-orderoptimality measure is less than μ times OptimalityTolerance,where μ is either:

A relative measure attempts to account for the scale of a problem.Multiplying an objective function by a very large or small numberdoes not change the stopping condition for a relative stopping criterion,but does change it for an unscaled one.

This measure of optimality is based on the familiarcondition for a smooth function to achieve a minimum: its gradientmust be zero. For unconstrained problems, when the first-order optimalitymeasure is nearly zero, the objective function has gradient nearlyzero, so the objective function could be near a minimum. If the first-orderoptimality measure is not small, the objective function is not minimal.

This section summarizes the theory behind the definition offirst-order optimality measure for constrained problems. The definitionas used in Optimization Toolbox functions is in Constrained Optimality in Solver Form.

The meaning of first-order optimality in this caseis more complex than for unconstrained problems. The definition isbased on the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker(KKT) conditions. The KKT conditions are analogous to the conditionthat the gradient must be zero at a minimum, modified to take constraintsinto account. The difference is that the KKT conditions hold for constrainedproblems.

The combined optimality measure is the maximum of the valuescalculated in Equation 5 and Equation 6. Solvers thataccept nonlinear constraint functions report constraint violations g(x) > 0 or h(x) > 0 as ConstraintTolerance violations.See Tolerances and Stopping Criteria.

Most constrained toolbox solvers separate their calculationof first-order optimality measure into bounds, linear functions, andnonlinear functions. The measure is the maximum of the following twonorms, which correspond to Equation 5 and Equation 6:

where the norm of thevectors in Equation 7 and Equation 8 is the infinitynorm (maximum). The subscripts on the Lagrange multipliers correspondto solver Lagrange multiplier structures. See Lagrange Multiplier Structures. The summations in Equation 7 range over allconstraints. If a bound is Inf, that termis not constrained, so it is not part of the summation.
