ode45 (Dormand Prince)
Based on an explicit Runge-Kutta (4,5) formula, the Dormand-Prince pair, ode45 is a one-step solver - in computing y(tn). It needs only the solution at the immediately preceding time point y(tn-1). In general, ode45 is the best function to apply as a “first try” for most problems.
Nonstiff problems, medium accuracy. Use most of the time. This should be the first solver you try.
