Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Using the following ODE $ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3y + 2x $ and the condition $ y(0) = 1 $, apply the 4-step Adams-Bashforth method to calculate $ y(0.4) $ assuming a suitable step size. Clearly outline your steps.
💡 Hint: Start with small steps and verify each result sequentially.
Critique the efficiency of the Adams-Bashforth compared to other methods like Euler and Runge-Kutta for long-term integrations. Provide examples.
💡 Hint: Analyze the computational demands and error attributes of each method.
