Consider the initial value problem
(a) Solve this problem for the exact solution
which has an infinite discontinuity at x = 0. (b) Apply Euler’s method with step size h — 0.15 to approximate this solution on the interval −1≦ x ≦ 0.5. Note that, from these data alone, you might not suspect any difficulty near x = 0. The reason is that the numerical approximation “jumps across the discontinuity” to another solution of 7xy′ + y = 0 for x > 0. (c) Finally, apply Euler’s method with step sizes h = 0.03 and h? = 0.006, but still printing results only at the original points x = –1.00, –0.85, –0.70,..., 1.20, 1.35. and 1.50. Would you now suspect a discontinuity in the exact solution?
We need at least 10 more requests to produce the solution.
