Q. Solve 3
rd
order differential equation f+0.5ff=0
Initial conditions:- f(0)=0
f(0)=0
f(0)=0.332

Solution:
Let
y1=f
y2=f
y3=f

Now differentiate each above equation
y1=y2
y2=y3
y3=0.5*y1*y2

MATLAB CODE FOR SOLVING THE ABOVE ODE USING ode45 SOLVER:

% Function for finding the derivatives in matrix form
function dydx= ode3ord(x,y)
dydx=[y(2)
y(3)
-0.5*y(1)*y(2)];

% Function for ode solver using ode45
function [T,Y] = TB(t0,tf,f0,fdot0,fdotdot0)
[T,Y] = ode45('ode3ord',[t0 tf],[f0 fdot0 fdotdot0]);
plot(T(:,1),Y(:,2));
end;


In above code, [t0 tf] is span in which ode solver will solve the differential equation
[f0 fdot0 fdotdot0] is the value of f, f,f
