midpoint_fixed


midpoint_fixed, an Octave code which solves one or more ordinary differential equations (ODE) using the (implicit) midpoint method, applying a fixed point iteration to solve the associated nonlinear equation.

Unless the right hand side of the ODE is linear in the dependent variable, each midpoint 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().

octave_ode_solver, an Octave 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.
