FNOL3, A Computer Program to Solve Ordinary Differential Equations

Abstract

FNOL3 is a Fortran IV subprogram which uses fourth order Runge-Kutta and Adams-Moulton methods to solve up to 30 ordinary differential equations with initial conditions. Options allow control of error, step-size, print frequency and integration method. There is a discussion on the integration methods and their error terms. Listings of the subprogram and sample problems and their results as run on NOL's CDC 6400 are included.
