I need to write a for loop in matlab to solve a derivative using the forward difference method. The function to derive is 10+15x+20x^2 from 0 to 10 using steps of 0.25. I have tried using
h=.25;
x=[0:h:10];
y = 10+15*x+20*x.^2;
y(1) = 45; size(x)
for i=2:47,
y(i) = y(i-1) + h*(15+40*x);
end
I'd do like this, as a start,
h=.25;
x=[0:h:10];
y = 10+15*x+20*x.^2;
diff(y)./diff(x)
or, as alternative,
syms x;
y = 20.*x.^2 + 15.*x + 10;
dy = diff(y,1);
h=.25;
xx=[0:h:10];
res = subs(dy,xx);

I am trying to use the fixed point iteration method with initial approximation x(1)=0 to obtain an approximation to the root of the equation f(x)=3x+sin(x)e^x=0.
The stopping criterion is
|x(k+1)-x(k)|<0.0001
x(1) = 0;
n = 100;
for k = 1:n
f(k) = 3*x(k) +sin(x(k))-exp(x(k));
if (abs(f(k))<0.0001)
break;
end
syms x
diff(f(k));
x(k+1) = x(1)- (f(k))/(diff(f(k)));
end
[x' f']
This is the error I am getting: Error using / Matrix dimensions must
agree. Error in prac2Q2 (line 15)
x(k+1) = x(1)- (f(k))/(diff(f(k)));
I would suggest to calculate the derivative by hand and use that term as denominator or to save the derivative in another variable and use this as the denominator.
Derivative as Variable
f(k) = ...;
df(k) = diff(f(k));
x(k+1) = x(k) - f(k) / df(k);
PS: I cannot test this, because I do not have access to the Symbolic Toolbox right now.
If you're looking for the root of 3*x +sin(x)-exp(x) you want to resolve this equation:
3*x + sin(x) - exp(x) = 0
The easiest way will be to isolate x in one side of the equation:
x = (exp(x) - sin(x))/3 % now iterate until x = (exp(x) - sin(x))/3
Now I would recommand to use an easier fixed point method: x(k+1) = (x(k)+f(x(k)))/2
x = 1 % x0
while 1
y = (exp(x)-sin(x))/3; % we are looking for the root not for a fixed point !!! y = f(x)
x = (x+y)/2 % after a few iterations x == y, so x = (x+y)/2 or x = 2x/2
if abs(x-y) < 1e-10
break
end
end
And you obtain the correct result:
x = 0.36042
No need of symbolic math.
h=0.005;
x = 0:h:40;
y = zeros(1,length(x));
y(1) = 0;
F_xy = ;
for i=1:(length(x)-1)
k_1 = F_xy(x(i),y(i));
k_2 = F_xy(x(i)+0.5*h,y(i)+0.5*h*k_1);
k_3 = F_xy((x(i)+0.5*h),(y(i)+0.5*h*k_2));
k_4 = F_xy((x(i)+h),(y(i)+k_3*h));
y(i+1) = y(i) + (1/6)*(k_1+2*k_2+2*k_3+k_4)*h;
end
I have the following code, I think it's right. I know there's parts missing on the F_xy because this is my follow up question.
I have dx/dt = = −x(2 − y) with t_0 = 0, x(t_0) = 1
and dy/dt = y(1 − 2x) with t_0 = 0, y(t_0) = 2.
My question is that I don't know how to get these equations in to the code. All help appreciated
You are using both t and x as independent variable in an inconsistent manner. Going from the actual differential equations, the independent variable is t, while the dependent variables of the 2-dimensional system are x and y. They can be combined into a state vector u=[x,y] Then one way to encode the system close to what you wrote is
h=0.005;
t = 0:h:40;
u0 = [1, 2]
u = [ u0 ]
function udot = F(t,u)
x = u(1); y = u(2);
udot = [ -x*(2 - y), y*(1 - 2*x) ]
end
for i=1:(length(t)-1)
k_1 = F(t(i) , u(i,:) );
k_2 = F(t(i)+0.5*h, u(i,:)+0.5*h*k_1);
k_3 = F(t(i)+0.5*h, u(i,:)+0.5*h*k_2);
k_4 = F(t(i)+ h, u(i,:)+ h*k_3);
u(i+1,:) = u(i,:) + (h/6)*(k_1+2*k_2+2*k_3+k_4);
end
with a solution output
Is F_xy your derivative function?
If so, simply write it as a helper function or function handle. For example,
F_xy=#(x,y)[-x*(2-y);y*(1-2*x)];
Also note that your k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4, y(i) are all two-dimensional. You need to re-size your y and rewrite the indices in your iterating steps accordingly.
Introduction
I am using Matlab to simulate some dynamic systems through numerically solving systems of Second Order Ordinary Differential Equations using ODE45. I found a great tutorial from Mathworks (link for tutorial at end) on how to do this.
In the tutorial the system of equations is explicit in x and y as shown below:
x''=-D(y) * x' * sqrt(x'^2 + y'^2)
y''=-D(y) * y' * sqrt(x'^2 + y'^2) + g(y)
Both equations above have form y'' = f(x, x', y, y')
Question
However, I am coming across systems of equations where the variables can not be solved for explicitly as shown in the example. For example one of the systems has the following set of 3 second order ordinary differential equations:
y double prime equation
y'' - .5*L*(x''*sin(x) + x'^2*cos(x) + (k/m)*y - g = 0
x double prime equation
.33*L^2*x'' - .5*L*y''sin(x) - .33*L^2*C*cos(x) + .5*g*L*sin(x) = 0
A single prime is first derivative
A double prime is second derivative
L, g, m, k, and C are given parameters.
How can Matlab be used to numerically solve a set of second order ordinary differential equations where second order can not be explicitly solved for?
Thanks!
Your second system has the form
a11*x'' + a12*y'' = f1(x,y,x',y')
a21*x'' + a22*y'' = f2(x,y,x',y')
which you can solve as a linear system
[x'', y''] = A\f
or in this case explicitly using Cramer's rule
x'' = ( a22*f1 - a12*f2 ) / (a11*a22 - a12*a21)
y'' accordingly.
I would strongly recommend leaving the intermediate variables in the code to reduce chances for typing errors and avoid multiple computation of the same expressions.
Code could look like this (untested)
function dz = odefunc(t,z)
x=z(1); dx=z(2); y=z(3); dy=z(4);
A = [ [-.5*L*sin(x), 1] ; [.33*L^2, -0.5*L*sin(x)] ]
b = [ [dx^2*cos(x) + (k/m)*y-g]; [-.33*L^2*C*cos(x) + .5*g*L*sin(x)] ]
d2 = A\b
dz = [ dx, d2(1), dy, d2(2) ]
end
Yes your method is correct!

I am trying to solve a differential equation with the ode solver ode45 with MATLAB. I have tried using it with other simpler functions and let it plot the function. They all look correct, but when I plug in the function that I need to solve, it fails. The plot starts off at y(0) = 1 but starts decreasing at some point when it should have been an increasing function all the way up to its critical point.
function [xpts,soln] = diffsolver(p1x,p2x,p3x,p1rr,y0)
syms x y
yp = matlabFunction((p3x/p1x) - (p2x/p1x) * y);
[xpts,soln] = ode45(yp,[0 p1rr],y0);
p1x, p2x, and p3x are polynomials and they are passed into this diffsolver function as parameters.
p1rr here is the critical point. The function should diverge after the critical point, so i want to integrate it up to that point.
EDIT: Here is the code that I have before using diffsolver, the above function. I do pade approximation to find the polynomials p1, p2, and p3. Then i find the critical point, which is the root of p1 that is closest to the target (target is specified by user).
I check if the critical point is empty (sometimes there might not be a critical point in some functions). If its not empty, then it uses the above function to solve the differential equation. Then it plots the x- and y- points returned from the above function basically.
function error = padeapprox(m,n,j)
global f df p1 p2 p3 N target
error = 0;
size = m + n + j + 2;
A = zeros(size,size);
for i = 1:m
A((i + 1):size,i) = df(1:(size - i));
end
for i = (m + 1):(m + n + 1)
A((i - m):size,i) = f(1:(size + 1 - i + m));
end
for i = (m + n + 2):size
A(i - (m + n + 1),i) = -1;
end
if det(A) == 0
error = 1;
fprintf('Warning: Matrix is singular.\n');
end
V = -A\df(1:size);
p1 = [1];
for i = 1:m
p1 = [p1; V(i)];
end
p2 = [];
for i = (m + 1):(m + n + 1)
p2 = [p2; V(i)];
end
p3 = [];
for i = (m + n + 2):size
p3 = [p3; V(i)];
end
fx = poly2sym(f(end:-1:1));
dfx = poly2sym(df(end:-1:1));
p1x = poly2sym(p1(end:-1:1));
p2x = poly2sym(p2(end:-1:1));
p3x = poly2sym(p3(end:-1:1));
p3fullx = p1x * dfx + p2x * fx;
p3full = sym2poly(p3fullx); p3full = p3full(end:-1:1);
p1r = roots(p1(end:-1:1));
p1rr = findroots(p1r,target); % findroots eliminates unreal roots and chooses the one closest to the target
if ~isempty(p1rr)
[xpts,soln] = diffsolver(p1x,p2x,p3fullx,p1rr,f(1));
if rcond(A) >= 1e-10
plot(xpts,soln); axis([0 p1rr 0 5]); hold all

I saw some examples using another function to generate the differential equation but i've tried using the matlabFunction() method with other simpler functions and it seems like it works. Its just that when I try to solve this function, it fails. The solved values start becoming negative when they should all be positive.
I also tried using another solver, dsolve(). But it gives me an implicit solution all the time...
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
Since your code seems to work for simpler functions, you could try to increase the accuracy options of the ode45 solver.
This can be achieved by using odeset:
options = odeset('RelTol',1e-10,'AbsTol',1e-10);
[T,Y] = ode45(#function,[tspan],[y0],options);
I'm trying to solve:
x' = 60*x - 0.2*x*y;
y' = 0.01*x*y - 100* y;
using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm.
Starting points: x(0) = 8000, y(0) = 300 range: [0,15]
Here's the complete function:
function [xx yy time r] = rk4_m(x,y,step)
A = 0;
B = 15;
h = step;
iteration=0;
t = tic;
xh2 = x;
yh2 = y;
rr = zeros(floor(15/step)-1,1);
xx = zeros(floor(15/step)-1,1);
yy = zeros(floor(15/step)-1,1);
AA = zeros(1, floor(15/step)-1);
while( A < B)
A = A+h;
iteration = iteration + 1;
xx(iteration) = x;
yy(iteration) = y;
AA(iteration) = A;
[x y] = rkstep(x,y,h);
for h2=0:1
[xh2 yh2] = rkstep(xh2,yh2,h/2);
end
r(iteration)=abs(y-yh2);
end
time = toc(t);
xlabel('Range');
ylabel('Value');
hold on
plot(AA,xx,'b');
plot(AA,yy,'g');
plot(AA,r,'r');
fprintf('Solution:\n');
fprintf('x: %f\n', x);
fprintf('y: %f\n', y);
fprintf('A: %f\n', A);
fprintf('Time: %f\n', time);
end
function [xnext, ynext] = rkstep(xcur, ycur, h)
kx1 = f_prim_x(xcur,ycur);
ky1 = f_prim_y(xcur,ycur);
kx2 = f_prim_x(xcur+0.5*h,ycur+0.5*h*kx1);
kx3 = f_prim_x(xcur+0.5*h,ycur+0.5*h*kx2);
kx4 = f_prim_x(xcur+h,ycur+h*kx3);
ky2 = f_prim_y(xcur+0.5*h*ky1,ycur+0.5*h);
ky3 = f_prim_y(xcur+0.5*h*ky2,ycur+0.5*h);
ky4 = f_prim_y(xcur+h*ky2,ycur+h);
xnext = xcur + (1/6)*h*(kx1 + 2*kx2 + 2*kx3 + kx4);
ynext = ycur + (1/6)*h*(ky1 + 2*ky2 + 2*ky3 + ky4);
end
function [fx] = f_prim_x(x,y)
fx = 60*x - 0.2*x*y;
end
function [fy] = f_prim_y(x,y)
fy = 0.01*x*y - 100*y;
end
And I'm running it by executing: [xx yy time] = rk4_m(8000,300,10)
The problem is that everything collapses after 2-3 iterations returning useless results. What am I doing wrong? Or is just this method not appropriate for this kind equation?
The semicolons are intentionally omitted.
Looks like I didn't pay attention to actual h size. It works now! Thanks!
Looks like some form of the Lotka-Volterra equation?
I'm not sure if if your initial condition is [300;8000] or [8000;300] (you specify it both ways above), but regardless, you have an oscillatory system that you're trying to integrate with a large fixed time step that is (much) greater than the period of oscillation. This is why your error explodes. If you try increasing n (say, 1e6), you'll find that eventually you'll get a stable solution (assuming that your Runge-Kutta implementation is otherwise correct).
Is there a reason why you're not using Matlab's builtin ODE solvers, e.g. ode45 or ode15s?
function ode45demo
[t,y]=odeode45(#f,[0 15],[300;8000]);
figure;
plot(t,y);
function ydot=f(t,y)
ydot(1,1) = 60*y(1) - 0.2*y(1)*y(2);
ydot(2,1) = 0.01*y(1)*y(2) - 100*y(2);
You'll find that adaptive step size solvers are much more efficient for these types of oscillatory problems. Because your system has such a high frequency and seems rather stiff, I suggest that you also look at what ode15s gives and/or adjust the 'AbsTol' and 'RelTol' options with odeset.
The immediate problem is that the RK4 code was not completely evolved from the scalar case to the case of two coupled equations. Note that there is no time parameter in the derivative funtions. x and y are both dependent variables and thus get the slope update defined by the derivative functions in every step. Then xcur gets the kx updates and ycur gets the ky updates.
function [xnext, ynext] = rkstep(xcur, ycur, h)
kx1 = f_prim_x(xcur,ycur);
ky1 = f_prim_y(xcur,ycur);
kx2 = f_prim_x(xcur+0.5*h*kx1,ycur+0.5*h*ky1);
ky2 = f_prim_y(xcur+0.5*h*kx1,ycur+0.5*h*ky1);
kx3 = f_prim_x(xcur+0.5*h*kx2,ycur+0.5*h*ky2);
ky3 = f_prim_y(xcur+0.5*h*kx2,ycur+0.5*h*ky2);
kx4 = f_prim_x(xcur+h*kx3,ycur+h*ky3);
ky4 = f_prim_y(xcur+h*kx3,ycur+h*ky3);
xnext = xcur + (1/6)*h*(kx1 + 2*kx2 + 2*kx3 + kx4);
ynext = ycur + (1/6)*h*(ky1 + 2*ky2 + 2*ky3 + ky4);
end
