Runge-Kutta 4th order formulae
 

-We solve    dy/dx = f(x,y)   with the initial value:   y(x0) = y0

RK4 uses the following formulae:

         k1 = h.f(x;y)
         k2 = h.f(x+h/2;y+k1/2)
         k3 = h.f(x+h/2;y+k2/2)
         k4 = h.f(x+h;y+k3)

  and then,   y(x+h) = y(x) + ( k1 + 2.k2 + 2.k3 + k4 ) / 6      This formula duplicates the Taylor series up to the term in h4
 

Data Registers:        •   R00:  f name                   ( Registers R00 to R04 are to be initialized before executing "RK4" )

                                   •   R01 = x0      •   R03 = h  = stepsize          R05 & R07: temp
                                   •   R02 = y0      •   R04 = N = number of steps

-"RK4B" solves   dy/dx = f(x,y,z)  ,   dz/dx = g(x,y,z)     with the initial values:    y(x0) = y0  ,   z(x0) = z0

-The preceding formulae are now generalized to a system of 2 differential equations:

                         k1 = h.f(x;y;z)                                             l1 = h.g(x;y;z)
                         k2 = h.f(x+h/2;y+k1/2;z+l1/2)                      l2 = h.g(x+h/2;y+k1/2;z+l1/2)

                         k4 = h.f(x+h;y+k3;z+l3)                               l4 = h.g(x+h;y+k3;z+l3)

  then,   y(x+h) = y(x) + ( k1 + 2.k2 + 2.k3 + k4 ) / 6
   and   z(x+h) = z(x) + ( l1 + 2.l2 + 2.l3 + l4 ) / 6           duplicate the Taylor series through the terms in h4

-"RK4N" solves the following system with the "classical" 4th order Runge-Kutta method.

     dy1/dx = f1(x,y1, ... ,yn)

             ..................                         with the initial values:     yi(x0)         i = 1 , ... , n

     dyn/dx = fn(x,y1, ... ,yn)

Data Registers:           •  R00 = subroutine name        ( Registers R00 thru R03 and R10 thru R10+n are to be initialized before executing "RK4N" )

                                      •  R01 = n  = number of equations = number of functions            R04 thru R09: temp
                                      •  R02 = h  = stepsize
                                      •  R03 = N = number of steps

                                          ...............         ( initial values )

Flags:  F06-F07
Subroutine:   A program which calculates and stores  f1 ( x, y1 , ... , yn) , ... , fn ( x, y1 , ... , yn)  in registers  R11+n, ... , R10+2n  respectively

Example:     Let's solve the system:

      dy1/dx = - y1y2y3
      dy2/dx =  x ( y1+y2-y3 )
      dy3/dx =  xy1- y2y3

   with the initial values:   y1(0) = 1 ; y2(0) = 1 ; y3(0) = 2

 x ; y1 ; y2 ; y3  will be in R10 ; R11 ; R12 ; R13 respectively, and we have to write a program to compute the 3 functions
 and store the results in R14 ; R15 ; R16   ( just after the "initial-value registers" ).

-For instance, the following subroutine will do the job - let's call it "T"

-Suppose we want to know   y1(1) , y2(1) ,  y3(1)  with a step size h = 0.1 and therefore N = 10

    h is stored in R02                 0.1   STO 02
   N is stored in R03                 10    STO 03   and  XEQ "RK4N"

about 2mn24s later, the HP-41 returns:

             x  =  1                        in X and R10
        y1(1) =  0.2582093855  in Y and R11
        y2(1) =  1.157619553    in Z and R12
        y3(1) =  0.8421786516  in T and R13

-To continue with the same h and N, simply press R/S and you'll have y1(2) y2(2) y3(2)

-An estimation of the accuracy may be obtained by doing the calculation again with a smaller step size like h=0.05

 It yields:       y1(1) = 0.2582079989    y2(1) = 1.157623732    y3(1) = 0.8421783424

-Theoretically, the results tend to the exact solution as h tends to zero.

Bulirsh-Stoer Method
 

-"BST" solves the differential equation   dy/dx = f(x,y)   with the initial value  y(x0) = y0
-It uses an extrapolation to the limit and the modified midpoint formula to compute y(x0+H)
-Let

                       z0 = y0
                       z1 = z0 + h.f(x0,z0)
                       z2 = z0 + 2h.f(x0+h,z1)
                       z3 = z1 + 2h.f(x0+2h,z2)                                     where  h = H/n
                       ..................................
                       zn = zn-2 + 2h.f(x0+(n-1).h,zn-1)

    y(x0+H) ~  yn = (1/2).[ zn + zn-1 + h.f(x0+H,zn)

-The numbers yn are computed for n = 2 , 4 , 6 , ..... , 16  ( at most )  and the Lagrange extrapolation polynomial is used
  until the estimated error is smaller than a specified tolerance ( tol )

-If the estimated error is still greater than tol with  n = 16 ,  H is halved
-On the other hand, if the desired accuracy is satisfied with n < 8 , H is doubled
-Other ( and much better ) methods for stepsize control may be used ( cf "Numerical Recipes" )

-The Bulirsch-Stoer technique is quite similar to the Romberg integration:
  the modified midpoint formula is second-order only,
  but, for instance, with n = 16 and the deferred approach to the limit, we actually use a 16th-order method !

-The long execution time is due to the fact that the method is first used with H = 1

Stoermer's rule for Conservative 2nd-order Equations
 

-"STRM" solves the differential equation     d2y/dx2 = f(x,y)     with initial values    y(x0) = y0  ,   y'(x0) = y'0
  where the first derivative does not appear explicitly.

-This kind of equations may be re-written as a system which could be solved by "BST2" but the following method is faster.

-Like "BST", "STRM" also uses the deferred approach to the limit but - instead of the modified midpoint method - the Stoermer's rule is employed:
-Let

    d0 = h.[ y'0 + (h/2).f(x0,y0) ]
    y1 = y0 + d0
    dk = dk-1 + h2f(x0+k.h,yk)                        dk = yk+1 - yk          k = 1 , 2 , ..... , n-1         h = H/n
    y'n = dn-1/h + (h/2).f(x0+H,yn)

Example:     Let's consider the Lane-Emden equation of index 3     y" = -(2/x) y' - y3   with the initial values  y(0) = 1 , y'(0) = 0

-There is already a difficulty because x = 0 is a singular point!
-But if we use a series expansion, we find after substitution that  y = 1 + a.x2 + ....  will satisfy the LEE  if   a = -1/6    whence  y"(0) = -1/3
