ode45()

ODE Solvers

ode45() is a MATLAB®-compatible ode solvers function for solve ordinary differential equation using adaptive runge-kutta 4/5 (dormand-prince). the function f defines dy/dt, tspan is [start, end], and y0 is the initial condition vector. returns {t, y} arrays. Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Solve ordinary differential equation using adaptive Runge-Kutta 4/5 (Dormand-Prince). The function f defines dy/dt, tspan is [start, end], and y0 is the initial condition vector. Returns {t, y} arrays.

Syntax
