generate ode45 example in matlab

To generate an example using the ode45 function in MATLAB, you can follow these steps:

1. Define a differential equation or a system of differential equations. For example, let's consider the simple differential equation dy/dt = -2y.
2. Create a MATLAB function file to represent the differential equation. Open a new file in MATLAB Editor and save it with a .m extension, e.g., ode45_example.m.
3. In the function file, define the differential equation using the dy = ... notation. In this case, you would write dy = -2*y.
4. Next, define the initial condition for the differential equation. For example, let's set y0 = 1.
5. Use the ode45 function to solve the differential equation. Write the following code in the function file:

main.m
function ode45_example()
    % Define the differential equation dy/dt = -2y
    dy = @(t, y) -2*y;

    % Define the initial condition y0 = 1
    y0 = 1;

    % Use ode45 to solve the differential equation
    [t, y] = ode45(dy, [0, 10], y0);

    % Plot the solution
    plot(t, y);
    xlabel('t');
    ylabel('y');
    title('Solution of dy/dt = -2y');
end

6. Save and run the function file. MATLAB will generate a plot of the solution to the differential equation.

Note: Make sure you have the MATLAB function file and the ode45 function in the same working directory or add the appropriate path to the MATLAB search path.

This example demonstrates how to solve a simple first-order differential equation using ode45. You can modify the differential equation and initial conditions to suit your needs.
