Numerical Solution of Heat Conduction in a Bar
Here is the last time you want to compute.
(the left hand side approximates , the right hand side ) This formulae can be used first for n=0 to compute the values of for all . The end values and can be found from the given Dirichlet boundary condition. (Again it is neatest to do this using your exact solution function). Next, now that all values are known for n=1, the values of can be computed for all values of , and so on.
