Problem 4 (25 points)
Compare the results from the iterative solution of the inflow equation to the exact analytical inflow equation for the case of a = 0. You need to do this problem using two approaches: (i) you may use either the fixed point iterative method or the Newton-Raphson method (don't need to do both), and (ii) use Matlab's fzero function like I demonstrated in class. Plot your results from the two approaches and from the approximate solution in a manner similar to Fig. 2.24 in the book. Determine the conditions (if any) under which these iterative methods fail. The results from your two approaches should be close to the exact solution in Fig. 2.24. Submit your equations, plots, and code with your HW
