Example 4. Reduce
the step size by
and see what happens to the error.
Recalculate points for Adams-Bashforth-Moulton's method, and the
analytic solution using twice as many subintervals.
Then Plot the error for Adams-Bashforth-Moulton's method.
Solution 4.

The error for Adams-Bashforth-Moulton's method.
![[Graphics:../Images/AdamsBashforthMod_gr_73.gif]](../Images/AdamsBashforthMod_gr_73.gif)
and the step size h = 0.1
Compare the error for Adams-Bashforth-Moulton's method with 25 and
50 subintervals.
Question 1. When the step size is
reduced by
estimate how much is the error reduced ? (Theoretically is
is
.)
