% This program implements the Runge-Kutta method
% for solving the initial value problem
%
%     Z' = F(t,Z)     with    Z(a) = Za
%
% where the vector notation is equivalent to:
%
%     x' = f(t,x,y)   with    x(a) = xa
%     y' = g(t,x,y)           y(a) = ya
%
% Formulas for f(t,x,y) and g(t,x,y) are used to form
% the vector function F(t,Y) which is stored in  Fn.m 
%
% function W = fn(t,Z)
% x = Z(1);  y = Z(2);
% W = [(x - x*y - x^2/10), (x*y - y - y^2/20)];
