Chapter 7 Ordinary Differential Equations Matlab has several different functions for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. This chapter describes the simplest of these functions and then compares all of the functions for efficiency‚ accuracy‚ and special features. Stiffness is a subtle concept that plays an important role in these comparisons. 7.1 Integrating Differential Equations The initial value problem for an ordinary differential equation involves finding a function
