backward_euler


backward_euler, a Fortran90 code which solves one or more ordinary differential equations (ODE) using the (implicit) backward Euler method, with a version of fsolve() handling the associated nonlinear equation, and using a fixed time step.

Each step requires the solution of an implicit nonlinear equation. A corresponding function has been devised, called fsolve_be(), which carries out the iterative solution process.

f90_ode_solver, a Fortran90 code which solves one or more differential equations (ODE) using a method of a particular order, either explicit or implicit. Some methods require a nonlinear equation solver. Some methods used a fixed stepsize, while others adapt the stepsize based on an error estimate.
