Applying the method of lines to a partial differential equation and using Runge-kutta method
By method of lines I converted the PDE
u_t=u_{xx},
with the initial and boundary conditions
u(0,t)=u(0.1,t)
u(0,x)=sin(2*pi*x)
to a system of ODEs, as follows
function ut=pde1(t,u)
%
% Problem parameters
% global ncall
xl=0.0;
xr=1.0;
d=10;
a=10;
%
% PDE
n=length(u);
h=((xr-xl)/(n-1));
for i=1:n
if(i==1) ut(i)=0.0;
elseif(i==n) ut(i)=0;
else ut(i)=d*(u(i+1)-2.0*u(i)+u(i-1))/h^2;
end
end
ut=ut';
%
Now I am solving the ODEs ut
by Runge-kutta method as follows:
%Initial condition
n=500;
for i=1:n
u0(i)=sin((2*pi)*(i-1)/(n-1));
end
t0=0.0;
tf=0.1;
tout=linspace(t0,tf,n);
y=zeros(n,length(tout));
y(:,1)=u0';
h=1/n;
for i = 1 : length(tout)
t=tout(i);
k1 = pde_1(t,y(:,i));
k2 = pde_1(t+h/2, y(:,i)+h*k1/2);
k3 = pde_1(t+h/2, y(:,i)+h*k2/2);
k4 = pde_1(t+h, y(:,i)+h*k3);
y(:,i+1) = y(:,i) + h*(k1 + 2*k2 + 2*k3 + k4)/6;
end
y
plot(tout,y(:,1))
but the outputs are NAN! any help?

Welcome to the Mathematics StackExchange! What language are you programming in? Also, you might get a better answer from StackOverflow; while the Runge-kutta is a numerical algorithm, your focus appears to be on the implementation rather than the mathematical properties, its correctness, or proving theorems with the method.

Your code deviates in some relevant points from your equations. Is it reallyu(0,t)=u(0.1,t)
or did you want periodic boundariesu(0,t)=u(1,t)
or zero boundariesu(0,t)=u(1,t)=0
? The last one you enforced with your implementation. Do you get a useful result if you decrease the factord
or the time steph
?
