TI-84 Plus and HP Prime: Differential Equations and Half-Increment Solution, Numerical Methods

TI-84 Plus and HP Prime:  Differential Equations and Half-Increment Solution, Numerical Methods

Introduction

The program HALFSTEP solves the numerical differential equation

d^2y/dt^2 = f(dy/dt, y, t)  given the initial conditions y(t0) = y0 and dy/dt (t0) = dy0

In this notation, y is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable.

The Method

Let C = f(dy/dt, y, t).  Give the change of t as Δt.

First Step:

With t = t0:
h_1/2 = dy0 + C * Δt/2
y1 = y0 + dy0 * Δt

Loop:

t = t0 + Δt
h_I+1/2 = h_I-1/2 + C * Δt
y_I+1 = y_I +h_I+1/2 * Δt

Repeat as many steps as desired.

This method was presented by Robert M. Eisberg in his 1976 calculator programming book (see source below).

Variables

The program uses the following variables:

C:  d^2y/dt^2.   Represent dy/dt as the variable A, y as the variable Y, and t as the variable T.

The program will always designate Y as the independent variable and T as the dependent variable.

Examples:

Application
C
C for HALFSTEP
Free-Fall
d^2y/dt^2 = g
“9.80665” (SI) or “32.1740468” (US)
Free-Fall with Friction
d^2y/dt^2 = g - α (dy/dt)^2
(α = F/m)
“g - α * A^2”
(sub numeric values for g, α)
Spring
d^2x/dt = -k/m * x
“-k/m * T”
(sub numeric values for k, m)
Pendulum
d^2θ/dt = -α*sin(θ)
(α = -g/l)
“-α * sin(Y)”
(sub numeric values for α)
Damped, Driven Oscillations
d^2x/dt = -α*x – β*dx/dt + γ * sin(ω*t)
“-α*Y-β*A+γ*sin(ω*T)”
(sub numeric values for α, β, γ)


HP Prime Program HALFSTEP

Input:  C.  Use single quotes to enclose d^2y/dt^2.  Represent dy/dt as A, y as Y, and t as T. 

Output:  A matrix of two columns, t and y.
