Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
For a nonlinear ODE like dy/dx = y^2 + x, use Picard's method to find at least three iterations starting with y(0) = 1. Discuss the observed convergence or lack thereof.
💡 Hint: Be cautious about how y changes your f(t, y) as it may alter your approximations significantly.
Consider dy/dx = e^(-y), y(0) = 0. Show at least two iterations using Picard’s method and highlight any difficulties in convergence.
💡 Hint: Look out for how exponential growth affects iterations.
