### Solving nonlinear pendulum using Runge-Kutta 4 for smaller steps

I am trying to solve nonlinear pendulum using 4th order Runge-Kutta method for limits between a=0.0 to b=110 seconds and simulated the results to observe the pendulum movement. But when I increase the ...

### Simulating pressure waves at an impedance boundary

I am trying to simulate pressure waves crossing a boundary from one medium to another (e.g., water to air) in Matlab. The code that I have got so far, which is largely taken from Wikipedia on Partial ...

### How to solve odd-order differential equations in FEM? Petrov-Galerkin?

I've recently learned about using weighted residuals with the Galerkin method to numerically approximate even-order differential equations (for linear elements, I'm still a beginner). It seems for odd-...

### Petsc matrix with DM objects takes too much memory

I have been learning petsc recently and made a simple solver for stokes equation on 3D staggered grid. My code is running on server with 200GB ram, but if I run a solver on 256^3 grid, memory used by ...

### Why this LJ molecular dynamics result doesn't converge?

I am doing a molecular dynamics simulation of Leonard Jones 6-12 potential. But instead of converging to a particular value. It always stays between -5.58 to -5.62. The standard value is -5.517. The ...

### Efficient inversion of multidimensional non linear function

I have a function $f:x\mapsto \vec{y}$ with $x \in [0,1]$ and $\vec{y}=(y_1,...,y_n) \in \mathbb{R}^n$. $n$ is a small integer e.g. $n=8$. Each of the component functions in $y_i(x)$ "oscilate" up and ...

### A name for a numerical phenomena when using numerical methods

I have a nonlinear solver for equation $g= c_1f(x_1,y_1)+c_2f(x_2,y_2)$. Note that $c_1$ is much bigger than $c_2$. So after using Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm, I could only get $x_1$, $y_1$ and \$...
