Euler’s method applied

Hie timewise integration of lumped problems leading to ordinary differential equa-tion(s) needs a treatment different from the timewise integration of distributed problems involving partial differential equation(s) considered in Section 4.4. Here, we demonstrate this integration in terms of Euler s method applied to Exs. 4.10 and 4.11. Reconsider the lumped brake problem of Ex. 3.3 with... 

Fig. 2.2 Euler s method applied to the trimer. Left, the solution trajectories for different step-sizes right the maximum global errors in position projections of solutions computed using four different time-steps appear to show an asymptotic linear relationship to step-size, when plotted in log-log scale...

Fig. 3.7 The energy for Euler s method applied to the 7-atom Lennard-Jones cluster is seen to exhibit a secular drift with the energy error growing approximately linearly in time...

Applying a Runge-Kutta method to such a linear system allows direct determination of the stability condition. For example, Euler s method would yield... 

If we apply Euler s method to this problem, recursively, one can arrive at the following approximation to the exact solution (equation 2.16). 

Consider the same differential equation presented earlier (Equation 2.15), and apply a backward Euler s method, which leads to the following solution. 

The TEC model developed by Teo also has been successfully applied to rationalize the geometries of a large number of cluster compounds. The TEC model combines Lauher s rule with Euler s theorem and adds an adjustable parameter This parameter X is equal to the number of electron pairs present in excess of that predicted by the 18-electron rule. " X has also been interpreted in terms of the number of missing antibonding orbitals. Given a value for X, determined by the shape of the cluster, an equation predicts the electron count for a cluster. Theoretical justification of the parameter X is based largely upon the classical molecular orbital calculations performed by Hoffmann and Lipscomb via the extended Hiickel method on the corresponding polyhedral boron hydride clusters The values...

Using Simpson s rule to evaluate the integral on the right-hand side of (24), SJG solved the equation by means of the Euler method. Although the technique is straightforward and efficient to apply for simple systems, it could prove more cumbersome for complicated three-dimensional systems and require the use of a more accurate method than the Euler one.
