Implicit (Backwards) Euler's Method

Click For Summary
To solve for a variable using implicit Euler's method, one must first understand the relationship between the variables and the time step involved. The equations provided indicate that the next values of U and V depend on their derivatives at the next time step. A function f(U, t) is essential for calculating dU/dt, which is necessary for the implicit method. Understanding explicit Euler's method can provide foundational knowledge for grasping implicit Euler's approach. Mastery of these concepts is crucial for effectively implementing implicit Euler's method in numerical integration.

How would one go about solving for one variable for an implicit Euler's method such as this:

I am completely lost...all I know is the value of U and dT

Un+1 = Un + (dU/dT)|n+1dT
Vn+1 = Vn + (dV/dT)|n+1dT

No matter what numerical integration technique you use, you are going to need some function f(U,t) that calculates dU/dt.

Regarding implicit Euler, do you know how explicit Euler works?
