MA2051 - Ordinary Differential Equations
Matlab - Solve a second-order equation numerically
Start by reading the instructions in wrk4 (or
wheun or weuler); just type
help wrk4 and focus on the last part of the help.
Here is how it goes. To solve
 ,
define  and rewrite the second-order
equation as a system of two first-order equations:
In vector notation, this system has the form  ,
where
Now use an editor to create a M-file named frcdsprg.m for this
vector system  :
% frcdsprg.m - new version
% x'' + 2x' + x = sin( 0.9 t ) written as the system
% x' = v, v' = -x - 2v + sin( 0.9 t)
% y(1) is x, y(2) is v.
function yprime = frcdsprg( t, y )
yprime(1) = y(2); % x' = v in terms of y's
yprime(2) = -y(1) - 2*y(2) + sin( 0.9*t ); % v' = -x ... in terms of y's
The following sequence of commands will solve this system
with initial conditions x(0) = 1, v(0) = 2
for  .
y0 = [1; 2];
[t, y] = wrk4( 'frcdsprg', 0, 30, y0, 0.2 );
The plot that appears is the graph of the approximate solution curve
x(t) for  .
Type [t,y] (without a semicolon).
Three columns of numbers will fly by; the first column is t, the
second column is y(1) = x(t), and the third column is
y(2) = v(t). In the above instructions, notice that you
are solving both of the first-order equations at the same time.
The initial data is specified in y0 = [1;2], and the time step by
0.2.
The following commands will plot x(t) and v(t) again
st t and
annotate the plot:
plot(t,y(:,1),'-'); % plots x(t) with lines
hold on; % holds the old plot
plot(t,y(:,2),'.'); % plots v(t) with dots
title(' x" + 2 x'' + x = sin(0.9 t) '); % adds a title ('' prints as ')
xlabel(' time ');
ylabel(' position and velocity '); % label the axes
text(15,1.0,' ... velocity '); % put text at (15,1.0)
text(15,1.5,' --- position '); % put text at (15,1.5)
Note that y(:,1) refers to the first column of y (which is
x(t)) and y(:,2) refers to the second column of y (which
is  ). To make a new plot, type hold off.
The following commands will plot v(t) against x(t) (instead of
t), producing a phase plane plot of this nonautonomous
system:
plot(y(:,1),y(:,2),'.'); % plots x and v
title(' Phase Plane: x" + 2 x'' + x = sin(0.9 t) '); % adds a title
xlabel(' position ');
ylabel(' velocity '); % label the axes
To control the axis limits, type axis( [ -0.75 1 -1 1.5] ); the
graph will show ``x'' values from -0.75 to 1 and ``y'' values from
-
1 to 1.5. Type help axis for more information.
Alternatively, to get a phase plane plot directly for an autonomous
system, type pplane and enter
your equations into the text box that appears.
