1.

The amount of lowering of water level, s, at any time, t, at a distance of r from the

pumping well is a function of the dimensionless parameter u (which is r2/t), and is given by
the equation s=Q* W(u), where Q* is a constant (proportional to the discharge), and W is
called the Well Function. The well function is given by the equation dW(u)/du = Exp(u)/u.
If the value of W(1) is 0.219370, find the value of W(0.5) using (a) Romberg integration
algorithm with accuracy O(h6) (b) Modified Euler with h=0.5 (c) Heuns method with
h=0.25 and (d) Fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with h=0.25. Perform an error analysis
using the true value as W(0.5)=0.559767.
2.

Solve the differential equation dy/dx = x2y 2y with y(0)=1 over the interval x=0 to

0.5, using (a) Heuns method without iteration with h=0.125 and 0.25 (b) Heuns method with
iteration (with h=0.25 and stopping criterion of 1% relative error) (c) 4 th order Runge-Kutta
method with h=0.125 and 0.25. Using the exact value of y at x=0.5 as 0.383532 perform an
error analysis.
3.

Solve the differential equation dy/dt = y + et with the initial condition y(0)=1 using

the Milne method to obtain the value of y at t=0.8 and 1.0 (To start the computations, find the
analytical solution and use the true values of y and dy/dt at t=0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6). Do the
computations in three different ways : (a) Do not use the predictor and corrector modifiers
(b) use predictor modification only and (c) use both predictor and corrector modifications.
4.

Solve the differential equation dy/dx = 10 sin(x) with the initial condition y(0)=0 and

step length of 0.2 using (a) the 4th order R-K method and (b) the 4th order Adams method to
obtain the value of y at t=0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0. (For the multi-step method use the values
obtained from the R-K method, as needed, and use the predictor and corrector modifiers to
improve efficiency and accuracy.)
