Absolute error of ODE45 and Runge-Kutta methods compared with analytical solution
问题 I would appreciate if someone can help with the following issue. I have the following ODE: dr/dt = 4*exp(0.8*t) - 0.5*r ,r(0)=2, t[0,1] (1) I have solved (1) in two different ways. By means of the Runge-Kutta method (4th order) and by means of ode45 in Matlab. I have compared the both results with the analytic solution, which is given by: r(t) = 4/1.3 (exp(0.8*t) - exp(-0.5*t)) + 2*exp(-0.5*t) When I plot the absolute error of each method with respect to the exact solution, I get the
