[tex]{\frac {{\it du}}{{\it dx}}}=998\,u+1998\,v[/tex]
[tex]{\frac {{\it dv}}{{\it dx}}}=-999\,u-1999\,v[/tex]
[tex]u \left( 0 \right) =1[/tex]
[tex]v \left( 0 \right) =0[/tex]
0<x<10
Second Order Backward Difference formula
[tex]{\frac {f_{{k-2}}-4\,f_{{k-1}}+3f_{{k}}}{h}}[/tex]
I'm trying solve this numerically in matlab, but can't seem to figure out what to do with the k-2 indice in the 2nd order backward difference equation, because it is outside the boundary. I was thinking of using a ficticious or ghost point, but I thought that only applies if a neuman boundary condition is given. The way i think of it, I have 4 unknowns and only 2 equations.
EDIT: ok after thinking about it. I think I have to use another numerical method to start the process, like RK4.
