Comparison of Milne-Simpson Method and Hamming Method in Logistic Equation Settlement on Pert Prediksi the People of Bandar Lampung City

Abstract

Milne-Simpson method and Hamming method are a numerical method that can be applied in the calculation of population prediction in the future as a reference government in building an area. Beginning with the calculation of growth rates with logistic equations then processed into the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The recalculation process continues to search for the smallest error between the Milne-Simpson method and the Hamming method. Error calculation is done with population growth rate 5.2% with step size h = 1 and capacity of Bandar Lampung city 1.500.000 soul. Numerical solutions show population growth annually and Milne-Simpson method is the best method seen from the smaller error than the Hamming method error.
