Abstract

This study conducts a comparative analysis of the Shooting and Finite Difference methods for solving boundary value problems (BVPs) in ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The findings indicate that the Shooting method offers superior accuracy, particularly for smaller step sizes, whereas the Finite Difference method is more straightforward to implement and exhibits greater computational efficiency. The results further demonstrate that the Shooting method is particularly highly appropriate for problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions, as it achieves the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) across various step sizes. Conversely, the Finite Difference method attains higher computational efficiency for the same problem type but performs less advantageously in cases involving other boundary conditions. In contrast, the Shooting method demonstrates greater efficiency in solving problems with Neumann and Robin boundary conditions. The selection of an appropriate numerical method depends on the specific characteristics of the problem, necessitating a balance between accuracy and computational cost. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of these numerical approaches to support the selection of the most suitable method for efficiently and accurately solving BVPs.

Abstract

Solving initial value problems (IVPs) in ordinary differential equations (ODEs) often requires numerical methods, with the fifth-order Runge-Kutta method being a widely used approach due to its balance between accuracy and computational efficiency. A novel and straight forward formula for the fifth order Runge-Kutta method is proposed, aiming to simplify calculations while maintaining high accuracy and stability. The method is derived using an optimized Taylor series expansion, leading to a more efficient formulation. Numerical experiments are conducted to compare the proposed method with existing fifth-order Runge-Kutta methods. The results showthat the proposed formula out performs existing methods in terms of accuracy, stability, and computational efficiency. This new formula provides a practical alternative for solving IVPs in ODEs with improved performance.
