In this article, three numerical methods namely Euler’s, Modified Euler, and Runge-Kutta method have been discussed, to solve the initial value problem of ordinary differential equations. The main goal of this research paper is to find out the accurate results of the initial value problem (IVP) of ordinary differential equations (ODE) by applying the proposed methods. To achieve this goal, solutions of some IVPs of ODEs have been done with the different step sizes by using the proposed three methods, and solutions for each step size are analyzed very sharply. To ensure the accuracy of the proposed methods and to determine the accurate results, numerical solutions are compared with the exact solutions. It is observed that numerical solutions are best fitted with exact solutions when the taken step size is very much small. Consequently, all the proposed three methods are quite efficient and accurate for solving the IVPs of ODEs. Error estimation plays a significant role in the establishment of a comparison among the proposed three methods. On the subject of accuracy and efficiency, comparison is successfully implemented among the proposed three methods.

Numerical methods for solving the initial value problem for ordinary differential equations are proposed. Embedded methods of order of accuracy 2(1), 3(2) and 4(3) are constructed. To estimate the local error, two-sided calculation formulas were used, which give estimates of the main terms of the error without additional calculations of the right-hand side of the differential equation, which favorably distinguishes them from traditional two-sided methods of the Runge- Kutta type.

We present a study on numerical solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by applying Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF) method, a well-known adaptive Runge-kutta method. The adaptive Runge-kutta methods use embedded integration formulas which appear in pairs. Typically adaptive methods monitor the truncation error at each integration step and automatically adjust the step size to keep the error within prescribed limit. Numerical solutions to different nonlinear initial value problems (IVPs) attained by RKF method are compared with corresponding classical Runge-Kutta (RK4) approximations in order to investigate the computational superiority of the former. The resulting gain in efficiency is compatible with the theoretical prediction. Moreover, with the aid of a suitable time-stepping scheme, we show that the RKF method invariably requires less number of steps to arrive at the right endpoint of the finite interval where the IVP is being considered.

In this paper, the initial value problem of Ordinary Differential Equations has been solved by using different Numerical Methods namely Euler’s method, Modified Euler method, and Runge-Kutta method. Here all of the three proposed methods have to be analyzed to determine the accuracy level of each method. By using MATLAB Programming language first we find out the approximate numerical solution of some ordinary differential equations and then to determine the accuracy level of the proposed methods we compare all these solutions with the exact solution. It is observed that numerical solutions are in good agreement with the exact solutions and numerical solutions become more accurate when taken step sizes are very much small. Lastly, the error of each proposed method is determined and represents them graphically which reveals the superiority among all the three methods. We fund that, among the proposed methods Runge-Kutta 4th order method gives the accurate result and minimum amount of error.

Differential equations of the form y′=f(t,y,y′), where f is not necessarily linear in its arguments, represent certain physical phenomena and are known for quite some time. The well known Clairut's and Chrystal's equations fall into this category. Earlier, we established the existence of a (unique) solution of the nonstandard initial value problem (NSTD IV P) y′=f(t,y,y′), y(t0)=y0 under certain natural hypotheses on f. In this paper we present some first order convergent numerical methods for finding the approximate solutions of the NST D I V Ps.

Theory and applications of non-Newtonian calculus have been evolving rapidly over the recent years. As numerical methods have a wide range of applications in science and engineering, the idea of the design of such numerical methods based on non-Newtonian calculus is self-evident. In this paper, the well-known Runge-Kutta method for ordinary differential equations is developed in the frameworks of non-Newtonian calculus given in generalized form and then tested for different generating functions. The efficiency of the proposed non-Newtonian Euler and Runge-Kutta methods is exposed by examples, and the results are compared with the exact solutions.

Fuzzy differential equations (FDEs) play important roles in modeling dynamic systems in science, economics and engineering. The modeling roles are important because most problems in nature are indistinct and uncertain. Numerical methods are needed to solve FDEs since it is difficult to obtain exact solutions. Many approaches have been studied and explored by previous researchers to solve FDEs numerically. Most FDEs are solved by adapting numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations. In this study, we propose the extended Trapezoidal method to solve first order initial value problems of FDEs. The computed results are compared to that of Euler and Trapezoidal methods in terms of errors in order to test the accuracy and validity of the proposed method. The results shown that the extended Trapezoidal method is more accurate in terms of absolute error. Since the extended Trapezoidal method has shown to be an efficient method to solve FDEs, this brings an idea for future researchers to explore and improve the existing numerical methods for solving more general FDEs.

The classical uniqueness theorem of Nagumo [1] for ordinary differential equations is as follows.Theorem. If f(t, y) is continuous on 0≤t≤1, -∞<y<∞ and ifthen there is at most one solution to the initial value problem y'=f(t, y), y(0)=0.
