Numerical Methods: Euler to Runge–Kutta · Superchallenge problem

Heun's method is applied to the harmonic oscillator x′=yx' = y, y′=−xy' = -x from (x0,y0)=(1,0)(x_0, y_0) = (1, 0), using nn steps of size h=2πnh = \dfrac{2\pi}{n} to cover one full period. Let ρn=xn2+yn2\rho_n = x_n^2 + y_n^2 after those nn steps. Find lim⁡n→∞n3(ρn−1)\displaystyle\lim_{n \to \infty} n^3(\rho_n - 1).
