Milne’s method

Values of y , y , y 2 and y 3 are required to caleulate y , . Milne s method uses Newton-Cotes formula for the predictor and Simpson s rule for the corrector. 

The predictor calls for four previous values in Adams-Moulton and Milne s algorithms. We obtain these by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Also, we can reduce the step size to improve the accuracy of these methods. Milne s method is unstable in certain cases because the errors do not approach zero as we reduce the step size, h. Because of this instability, the method of Adams-Moulton is more widely used. 

To find an approximate value of y for x = Xo + nh by Milne s method for the above-mentioned differential equation, we proceed as follows ... 

Now, let us determine the starting values of the Milne s method from (i) by...

The primary advantage of the single-step methods is that they are self starting. We can also vary the step sizes. In contrast, the multistep methods require a single-step formula to start the calculations. Step size variation is difficult. However, the efficiency of both the Milne s and Adams-Moulton methods is about twice that of the single-steps methods. We need two function evaluations per step in the former while four or five are required with the single step. 

This is Milne s predictor-corrector method. To ensure greater accuracy, we must first improve the aecuracy of the starting values and then subdivide the intervals.

John Milne, one of the founding fathers of instrumental seismology, devised some of the first quantitatively based methods for earthquake location, such as the methods of circles and hyperbolas (Milne 1886). The method of circles is similar in concept to the S minus P time location method. Assuming that a velocity model exists to specify the average P and S velocities, the difference between S and...
