Numerical solution of a differential equation with time dependent terms

AI Thread Summary
To solve the differential equation with time-dependent terms, starting at t = 0 and incrementing time step by step is essential. Known parameters allow for a straightforward calculation process. Various numerical techniques exist, with the Runge-Kutta method being recommended for its balance of accuracy and computational efficiency. Implementing this in software can be done using programming languages that support numerical analysis. Exploring these methods will yield a practical solution to the problem.

Could you give me some practical ideas about the required software and methodology? Thank you very much

If all the parameters are known, did you try to just calculate it time steps by time step? Did it work?
There are more precise integration methods, but that is something you can have a look at afterwards.
 
Yes, all the parameters are known, but how I can calculate the time step by time step?

Time is the independent variable. You start your calculations at t = 0, increment t, rinse and repeat.
 
And how I could implement it in software?, I need a numerical solution of this equations.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
