Theory: (In Short)

• Runge-Kutta Method
Runge–Kutta method is an effective and widely used method for solving the initial-value problems of
differential equations. Runge–Kutta method can be used to construct high order accurate numerical method by
functions' self without needing the high order derivatives of functions.
For the differential equation y=f (t, y) where y(t0) = y0 the Runge-Kutta of fourth-order method (RK4)
method is defined using the following recursion formula:
MATLAB Code:
Code for Single N points

Experiments:
Write down appropriate MATLAB code to solve the following Equations using 4th order Runge-Kutta Method
(time = 0 to 3) and pints N = 4, 8, 12

• Equations
a. 𝑦 = 2𝑥 3
N= 4
N=8
N=12
 b. 𝑦 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝑥 2 )
N=4
N=8
N=12
Calculations:
Do the handwritten calculation for all the equations when N = 4.

Discussion:
Write down the procedure you followed to do the experiments (in short) and short result analysis.

For our experiment, we were given

X0 = 0
X=3
N=4,8,12

In MATLAB we pre-defined the values of x, y for initial values and the range of x with step size, then we
opted for a FOR loop to continue calculation from N=0 to N=4, now MATLAB does works in matrix, so
we had to write N=1 to N=4, N=8, N=12.
Using the dydx function we found the first derivative and plot function for making the graphs.
