euler_heun: Euler-Heun ODE Solver

Description

Euler and Euler-Heun ODE solver.

Usage

euler_heun(f, a, b, y0, n = 100, improved = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

f

function in the differential equation $y' = f(x, y)$.

a, b

start and end points of the interval.

y0

starting value at a.

n

number of grid points.

improved

logical; shall the Heun method be used; default TRUE.

...

additional parameters to be passed to the function.

Value

• List with components t for grid (or `time') points, and y the vector of predicted values at those grid points.

Details

euler_heun is an integration method for ordinary differential equations using the simple Euler resp. the improved Euler-Heun Method.
