Numerical approximation of the solution

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on numerical approximation solutions for the second-order differential equation u''(x) = sin(2πx) with boundary conditions u(-1) = 0 and u(1) = 0. The original MATLAB code provided uses finite difference methods to solve a similar equation with a constant right-hand side. Users are seeking guidance on modifying the MATLAB code to accommodate the new function sin(2πx) while maintaining the boundary conditions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of finite difference methods for differential equations
  • Familiarity with MATLAB programming and syntax
  • Knowledge of boundary value problems in numerical analysis
  • Basic concepts of linear algebra, particularly matrix operations
NEXT STEPS
  • Modify the MATLAB function f4 to return sin(2*pi*x) instead of a constant value
  • Explore the implementation of boundary conditions in MATLAB for differential equations
  • Learn about the stability and convergence of finite difference methods
  • Investigate advanced numerical methods for solving boundary value problems, such as shooting methods
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, engineers, and researchers involved in numerical analysis, particularly those working on differential equations and MATLAB programming.

u''(x)=f(x),
boundary conditions u(a)=0,u(b)=0.
(u(x+h)-2u(x)+u(x-h))/h^2=f(x);

maltab code:

clear all
a=0;
b=1;
n=10;
h=(b-a)/(n+1);
x_with_boundary=linspace(a,b,n+2)';
x=x_with_boundary(2:n+1);
A=h^(-2).*(diag(ones(1,n-1),-1)+diag(-2.*ones(1,n),0)+diag(ones(1,n-1),1));
rhs=f4(x);
sol=A\rhs;
sol_with_boundary_conds=[0;sol;0];
plot(x_with_boundary,sol_with_boundary_conds);


open a new document,f4,
function y=f4(x)
y=ones(length(x),1);

parabola comes out.



now the question is ,

u''(x)=sin(2pix);
u(-1)=0;
u(1)=0;
interval[-1;1]

,how to change the MATLAB code to become u''=sin(2pix)?
thanks in advance
