Question

What is the nature of ode45 solver?

(a) 2^nd ordered R-K solver

(b) 4^th ordered R-K solver

(c) 1^st order R-K solver

(d) Adams solver

The question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

I'd like to ask this question from Differentiation topic in division Beyond the Basics of MATLAB

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) 4^th ordered R-K solver

For explanation I would say: The ode45 solver is an Ordinary Differential Equation solver in MATLAB which is used to solve a differential equation using the Runga-Kutta or R-K method upto 4^th order. This is an inbuilt ODE solver in MATLAB.
