Jan 17, 2018 at 16:30 comment added Dr. Ikjyot Singh Kohli @Cyphox32 hi. Yes. This is frequently a problem in such numerical applications. You may want to look at using MATLAB / Octave / NumPY/SciPy in Python for these sorts of things. MATLAB has very powerful numerical solvers: ODe23s OdE45, etc.. and it is easier to experiment with initial conditions.
Jan 17, 2018 at 15:53 comment added Cyphox32 @Dr.IkjyotSinghKohli I have made substantial progress in my problem, however I am having trouble specifying inital conditions that lead to a stable solution according to the solver I am using. Thanks

Jan 14, 2018 at 15:33 comment added Dr. Ikjyot Singh Kohli @JamalS i think you took my sentence way too literally. R-K solvers don't natively work on 2nd-order ODEs, the "trick" is to write 2nd-order ODEs as first-order ODEs, and then apply the R-K methods.
Jan 14, 2018 at 11:22 comment added JamalS It's hardly a "trick" employing RK solvers, since they are among the most popular and often the 'go to' before resorting to more elaborate methods.
