How to solve the differential equation numerically
Show older comments
My equation is this:
(-Vs/500)-((6e-10)*diff(Vs,t))+(7/250)+(7.226*Vs*((Vs/1000)+((3e-10)*diff(Vs,t))-7/500)^2)-(3/25000)*(Vs^2)-((4.336e-9)*diff(Vs,t))-(0.014*Vs)-((1.08e5)*((Vs/1000)+((3e-10)*diff(Vs,t))-7/500))+0.2023=0
Vs(0)=7.9
I tried using dsolve but there is no explicit solution. I need solved vector with numerical values for Vs with constant rise in 't'.
Can anyone please help me?

this looks like an ODE, and looks like it may be made explicit in d(Vs)/d(t), but it's hard to tell the way it is written. try to write it out in with your numeric parameters replaced by some symbols and do some algebra to figure it out. even if it turns out to be implicit, some of the matlab ode solvers can handle it.

Please show us the differential equation you are trying to solve.

By "no explicit solution" I think you mean "no analytical solution".
If diff(Vs(t),t) means
and that is the only differential term, your equation still looks "explicit in
", which means you can put your equation in the form

rather than how you have it. I'm not going to go through your equation term by term to verify, you should do so yourself.
Then, you should be able to follow Asvin's advice to look at examples of how to solve that class of problems using ode45.
If your problem is truly "implicit" in
, then look at https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/math/choose-an-ode-solver.html under "Types of ODEs" near the top
