backward_euler, a MATLAB code which solves one or more ordinary differential equations (ODE) using the (implicit) backward Euler method, using fsolve() to solve the implicit equation.
Unless the right hand side of the ODE is linear in the dependent variable, each backward Euler step requires the solution of an implicit nonlinear equation. Such equations can be approximately solved using methods such as fixed point iteration, or an implicit equation solver like fsolve().
