Thus we find that the choice of quaternion variables introduces barriers to efficient symplectic-reversible discretization, typically forcing us to use some off-the-shelf explicit numerical integrator for general systems such as a Runge-Kutta or predictor-corrector method. 

This improved procedure is an example of the Runge-Kutta method of numerical integration. Because the derivative was evaluated at two points in the interval, this is called a second-order Runge-Kutta process. We chose to evaluate the mean derivative at points Pq and Pi, but because there is an infinite number of points in the interval, an infinite number of choices for the two points could have been made. In calculating the average for such choices appropriate weights must be assigned. 

Two schemes for second-order Runge-Kutta numerical integration can be presented as follows ... 

The computer model consists of the numerical integration of a set of differential equations which conceptualizes the high-pressure polyethylene reactor. A Runge-Kutta technique is used for integration with the use of an automatically adjusted integration step size. The equations used for the computer model are shown in Appendix A. 

Initial numerical simulations of population density dynamics incorporated experimental data of Figures 2 and 4 and Equations 16, 20, 23, and 27 into a Runge-Kutta-Gill integration algorithm (21). The constant k.. was manipulated to obtain an optimum fit, both with respect to sample time and to degree of polymerization. Further modifications were necessary to improve the numerical fit of the population density distribution surface. 

Softwares for numerical integration of equations include the calculator HP-32SII, POLYMATH, CONSTANTINIDES AND CHAPRA CANALE. The last of these also can handle tabular data with variable spacing. POLYMATH fits a polynomial to the tabular data and then integrates. A comparison is made in problem PI.03.03 of the integration of an equation by the trapezoidal and Runge-Kutta rules. One hundred intervals with the trapezoidal rule takes little time and the result is usually accurate enough, so it is often convenient to standardize on this number. 

Numerical integration of sets of differential equations is a well developed field of numerical analysis, e.g. most engineering problems involve differential equations. Here, we only give a very brief introduction to numerical integration. We start with the Euler method, proceed to the much more useful Runge-Kutta algorithm and finally demonstrate the use of the routines that are part of the Matlab package. 

The fourth order Runge-Kutta method is the workhorse for the numerical integration of ODEs. Elaborate routines with automatic step-size control are available in Matlab. 

Here, we develop an Excel spreadsheet for the numerical integration of the reaction mechanism 2A k B based on the 4th order Runge-Kutta... 

A],. .. [B]) as modelled in Excel using a 4th order Runge-Kutta for numerical integration. 

The kinetic profiles displayed in Figure 3-32 have been integrated numerically with Matlab s stiff solver odel5s using the rate constants /ci=1000 M 1s 1, /c2=100 s 1 for the initial concentrations [A]o=l M, [Cat]o=10 4 M and [B]o=[C]o=0 M. For this model the standard Runge-Kutta routine is far too slow and thus useless. 

This system of equations can be integrated numerically by a Runge-Kutta method, and the charge transfer probability is then obtained as P oo) = lim riooit). The quantities >j ,(t) can be related to a /t) in (21) by writing... 

For each system considered, an appropriate computer program was written for solving the equations involved in the modeling presented in Section 4.1. The first-order nonlinear differential equations were solved by numerical integration using the Runge-Kutta procedure [141]. 

Table III presents the values of the constants used in the calculations. The t/o data have been obtained from the variation of Pq with Z by numerical integration of the Gibbs-Duhem equation using the Runge-Kutta method (22,23). The comparison of the Pq values of Table I with those obtained by some previous workers (24, 25) shows that our results are at most higher by 0.5-1 Torr.

With hmax = ma,x(xi+i — x/), the global error order of the classical Runge-Kutta method is of order 4, or 0(h/nax), provided that the solution function y of (1.13) is 5 times continuously differentiable. The global error order of a numerical integrator measures the maximal error committed in all approximations of the true solution y(xi) in the computed y values y. Thus if we use a constant step of size h = 10 3 for example and the classical Runge-Kutta method for an IVP that has a sufficiently often differentiable solution y, then our global error satisfies... 

Eqns (16), (20) and (22) were integrated numerically to obtain the separation performance of the one- and two-column processes The GEAR package (13) was used for the integration after determining that it was faster than, say, Runge-Kutta methods For all calculations N 50 and e - 0.40 Dimensionless parameters varied were 8, ph pL Yf and, for the two-column process, H. Combinations of the parameters of 6 and Pr/Pl were chosen to correspond to the me thane-helium system on BPL carbon Adsorption isotherm data for methane at 25°C (14) were represented by... 

To analyze this phenomenon further, 2D numerical simulations of (49) and (50) were performed using a central finite difference approximation of the spatial derivatives and a fourth order Runge-Kutta integration of the resulting ordinary differential equations in time. Details of the simulation technique can be found in [114, 119]. The material parameters of the polymer blend PDMS/PEMS were used and the spatial scale = (K/ b )ll2 and time scale r = 2/D were established from the experimental measurements of the structure factor evolution under a homogeneous temperature quench.
