18.11 A MATLAB M-file for the midpoint method can be developed as
function [t,y] = midpointdydt,tspan,y0,h [t,y] = midpointdydt,tspan,y0,h:
uses the midpoint method to integrate an ODE input:
dydt = name of the M-file that evaluates the ODE tspan = [ti, tf] where ti and tf = initial and
final values of independent variable y0 = initial value of dependent variable
h = step size output:
t = vector of independent variable y = vector of solution for dependent variable
ti = tspan1; tf = tspan2;
t = ti:h:tf; n = lengtht;
if necessary, add an additional value of t so that range goes from t = ti to tf
if tntf tn+1 = tf;
n = n+1; end
y = y0onesn,1; preallocate y to improve efficiency for i = 1:n-1
hh = ti+1 - ti; k1 = fevaldydt,ti,yi;
ymid = yi + k1hh2; k2 = fevaldydt,ti+hh2,ymid;
yi+1 = yi + k2hh; end

Here is the test of the solution of Prob. 18.5. First, an M-file holding the differential equation is written as
function dp = dpdtt, p dp = 0.0261-p12000p;
201 Then the M-file can be invoked as in
[t,p]=midpointdpdt,[1950 2000],2555,5; disp[t,p]

18.12 A MATLAB M-file for the fourth-order RK method can be developed as
function [t,y] = rk4dydt,tspan,y0,h [t,y] = rk4dydt,tspan,y0,h:
uses the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to integrate an ODE input:
dydt = name of the M-file that evaluates the ODE tspan = [ti, tf] where ti and tf = initial and
final values of independent variable y0 = initial value of dependent variable
h = step size output:
t = vector of independent variable y = vector of solution for dependent variable

t = ti:h:tf; n = lengtht;
if necessary, add an additional value of t
