Midpoint method


In numerical analysis, a branch of applied mathematics, the midpoint method is a one-step method for numerically solving the differential equation,

The explicit midpoint method is given by the formula

the implicit midpoint method by

for Here, is the step size — a small positive number, and is the computed approximate value of The explicit midpoint method is also known as the modified Euler method, the implicit method is the most simple collocation method, and, applied to Hamiltionian dynamics, a symplectic integrator.
