Autonomy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Autonomization refers to the rewriting of a non-autonomous differential equation system into an autonomous differential equation system in numerical mathematics .

description

Let the initial value problem be with

given.

Then the goal is to convert this non-autonomous DGL into an autonomous, i.e. H. Transferring DGL that is independent of time (= invariant against time translation) (" autonomizing ").

We can restrict ourselves to the beginning , since there must be a solution at any given time if the function can be autonomous .

In the numerical method, the points in time are correspondingly omitted. That is, it applies to the explicit Euler method

for an autonomous differential equation.

Autonomy

If we now rewrite the non-autonomous DGL in an autonomous DGL , then we get an additional dimension.

Define

.

Then the relationship applies:

.

Examples

1. The Euler methods (explicit, implicit), the Heun method and the Trapez method are all invariant to autonomization.

2. The "crooked" Euler method (note time step in ) is not invariant to autonomization.
