Pulse detection software for initial value ODEs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In many physical models ordinary differential equations (ODEs) arise with the general form, y'(t)-f(t, y) + g(t), in which abrupt but large changes of limited duration, known as pulses, occur in g(t). These pulses may begin at times which are not known beforehand and may have unknown durations. If the duration is sufficiently short, standard differential equation solvers may miss the pulse completely, stepping over it, especially if, prior to the pulse, the solution is well behaved. In this paper, we discuss software which employs standard initial value ODE software and a process of detect sampling to attempt to detect, and handle efficiently, any pulses which arise. A key advantage of this software and the algorithms for pulse detection and handling described in this paper is that they do not involve modification of the initial value ODE solver. The performance of the new software will be investigated by applying it to several test problems exhibiting pulses. The results show that pulses can be detected and efficiently handled by the new software and that significant computational savings are achieved.

SOLVING SINGULAR ODES IN UNBOUNDED DOMAINS WITH SINC-COLLOCATION METHOD
Spectral approximations for ODEs in unbounded domains have only received limited attention. In many applicable problems, singular initial value problems arise. In solving these problems, most of numerical methods have difficulties and often could not pass the singular point successfully. In this paper, we apply the sinc-collocation method for solving singular initial value problems. The ability...
متن کاملExact Implementation of Multiple Initial Conditions in the DQ Solution of Higher-Order ODEs
The differential quadrature method (DQM) is one of the most elegant and useful approximate methods for solving initial and/or boundary value problems. It is easy to use and also straightforward to implement. However, the conventional DQM is well-known to have some difficulty in implementing multiple initial and/or boundary conditions at a given discrete point. To overcome this difficulty, this ...
متن کاملValidated Solution of Initial Value Problems for ODEs with Interval Parameters
In initial value problems for ODEs with interval-valued parameters, it is desirable in many applications to be able to determine a validated enclosure of all possible solutions to the ODE system. Much work has been done for the case in which initial values are given by intervals, and there are several available software packages that deal with this case. However, relatively little work has been...
متن کاملApproximate Solution of the Second Order Initial Value Problem by Using Epsilon Modified Block-Pulse Function
The present work approaches the problem of achieving the approximate solution of the second order initial value problems (IVPs) via its conversion into a Volterra integral equation of the second kind (VIE2). Therefore, we initially solve the IVPs using Runge–Kutta of the forth–order method (RK), and then convert it into VIE2, and apply the εmodified block–pulse functions (εMBPFs) and their oper...
متن کامل2-stage explicit total variation diminishing preserving Runge-Kutta methods
In this paper, we investigate the total variation diminishing property for a class of 2-stage explicit Rung-Kutta methods of order two (RK2) when applied to the numerical solution of special nonlinear initial value problems (IVPs) for (ODEs). Schemes preserving the essential physical property of diminishing total variation are of great importance in practice. Such schemes are free of spurious o...
