  • how did he just get the exact solution??

  • @erol1991 One gets the exact solution by using Frobenius series. Assume u=summation of a(i)*r**i, with i going from -infinity to +infinity. Substitute in the ODE and you will see that only for i= -1 and i=+1, the coefficient is nonzero. Then apply the boundary conditions (see numericalmethods(.)eng(.)usf(.­)edu - click on keyword, click on Finite Diff Method for ODEs, see the example in the textbook chapter)

  • very important , thanx very much

  • Awesome, thank you ! :D

    I did homework 1 and got the following results:

    u1 = 0.008

    u2 = 0.004906

    u3 = 0.003646

    u4 = 0.003

    which is pretty cool to see just how using a centered difference formula can improve accuracy.

  • Thank you so much for your videos. You're a great help!

  • now i hope i can remember all this during the quiz. inshAllah!. thanks again

  • Thanks so much for this. I suspect your videos are going to be the only reason for me getting though my 2nd Year EMTH paper. Keep up the good work.

  • Thank you very much for putting up this video, it has been immensely helpful.

  • You mentioned that Gauss-Seidel converges if Diagonally Dominant, i thought only Jacobi method converges if Diagonally Dominant, it is not guaranteed for Gauss-Seidal
