The Euler method is a first-order numerical procedure for solving Ordinary Differential Equation (ODEs) problems. It is an effective and easy method to solve initial value problems. Although Euler provides simple procedure for solving ODEs, there have been issues such as complexity, time of processing and accuracy that compelled the use of other, more complex, methods. Improvements to the Euler method have attracted much attention resulting in numerous modified Euler methods. This paper proposes Cube Arithmetic, a modified Euler method with improved accuracy. The efficiency of Cube Arithmetic was compared with Euler Arithmetic and tested using SCILAB against exact solutions. Results indicate that not only Cube Arithmetic provided solutions that are similar to exact solutions at small step size, but also at higher step size, hence producing more accurate results.

We begin by introducing a new procedure for construction of the exact solutions to Cauchy problem of the real-valued (hyperbolic) Novikov–Veselov equation which is based on the Moutard symmetry. The procedure shown therein utilizes the well-known Airy function Ai(ξ) which in turn serves as a solution to the ordinary differential equation d2zdξ2=ξz. In the second part of the article we show that the aforementioned procedure can also work for the n-th order generalizations of the Novikov–Veselov equation, provided that one replaces the Airy function with the appropriate solution of the ordinary differential equation dn−1zdξn−1=ξz.

A numerical procedure is proposed for obtaining the static deflection, pull-in (PI) deflection and PI voltage of electrostatically excited capacitive microcantilever beams. The method is not time and memory consuming as Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Nonlinear ordinary differential equation of the static deflection of the beam is derived, w/wo considering the fringing field effects. The nondimensional parameters upon which PI voltage is dependent are then found. Thereafter, using the parameters and the numerical method, three closed form equations for pull-in voltage are developed. The results are in good agreement with others in literature.

Recently, a new technique has been proposed by one of the authors for solving diffraction problems belonging to certain class. The class includes 2D problems that can be reduced to propagation problems on branched surfaces by applying the method of images. One of the simplest problems belonging to this class is diffraction by an infinitely thin ideal strip. Within the framework of the new method, a "spectral equation" is derived, which is an ordinary differential equation for the components of the directivity of the scattered field. The coefficients of the spectral equation are known up to several numerical parameters, and these are found by a complicated numerical procedure from the a-priori known monodromy data for the equation. In the current paper the numerical procedure is described and its accuracy and efficiency are analyzed.


A treatment of Einstein’s equations governing vacuum gravitational fields which are stationary and axisymmetric is shown to divide itself into three parts: a part essentially concerned with a choice of gauge (which can be chosen to ensure the occurrence of an event horizon exactly as in the Kerr metric); a part concerned with two of the basic metric functions which in two combinations satisfy a complex equation (Ernst’s equation) and in one combination satisfies a symmetric pair of real equations; and a third part which completes the solution in terms of a single ordinary differential equation of the first order. The treatment along these lines reveals many of the inner relations which characterize the general solutions, provides a derivation of the Kerr metric which is direct and verifiable at all stages, and opens an avenue towards the generation of explicit classes of exact solutions (an example of which is given).

Abstract Exact analytical solutions for the temperature profile and the efficiency of a nonlinear rectangular fin model have been obtained in the forms of well-known algebraic/non-algebraic functions. In the considered nonlinear fin model, the thermal conductivity and the heat transfer coefficient have been assumed to vary as distinct power-law functions of temperature thereby yielding a nonlinear BVP in a 2nd order ODE (ordinary differential equation). These exact solutions have been obtained by employing the derivative substitution method which not only include the solutions of previously studied simplified cases of the same problem but also the solutions of a similar problem of reaction-diffusion process occurring in a porous catalyst slab. These exact solutions have been successfully validated against their numerical counterparts. Besides, effects of various parameters on the obtained solutions have been studied, and the conditions for their existence, uniqueness/multiplicity and stability/instability are analyzed and discussed in detail.
