Comparative Study of Fourth-Order Runge-Kutta and Adaptive Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF45) Methods for Solving Logistic Population Models

https://doi.org/10.65770/PWEL5664 ABSTRACT This study evaluates and compares the performance of the fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) method against the adaptive Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 45 (RKF45) method in solving a logistic growth model to predict population dynamics in West Java Province. Growth rate parameters and carrying capacities were estimated through curve-fitting optimization based on…
