I'm trying to write a program to do a Runge-Kutta algorithm for a complicated Norberg ODE, but two of my equations involve summations over small intervals (0 to 3) and summations of combinations.

Does anyone know how to program these type of math equations?

Thanks!

this is my assignment in the past ..:)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <fstream.h>

/*

Different methods for solving ODEs are presented
We are solving the following eqation:

m*l*(phi)'' + reib*(phi)' + m*g*sin(phi) = A*cos(omega*t)

If you want to solve similar equations with other values you have to
rewrite the methods 'derivatives' and 'initialise' and change the variables in the private
part of the class Pendel

At first we rewrite the equation using the following definitions:

omega_0 = sqrt(g*l)
t_roof = omega_0*t
omega_roof = omega/omega_0
Q = (m*g)/(omega_0*reib)
A_roof = A/(m*g)

and we get a dimensionless equation

(phi)'' + 1/Q*(phi)' + sin(phi) = A_roof*cos(omega_roof*t_roof)

This equation can be written as two equations of first order:

(phi)' = v
(v)' = -v/Q - sin(phi) +A_roof*cos(omega_roof*t_roof)

All numerical methods are applied to the last two equations.
The algorithms are taken from the book "An introduction to computer simulation methods"
