Final answer:

The use of Euler's method requires a valid step size greater than zero to incrementally approximate the solution of a differential equation; the provided step size of h = 0.0 is not feasible for performing the approximation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves using Euler's method to approximate values of a solution to a differential equation with a given initial value. However, there is an inconsistency in the question as it mentions using a step size of h = 0.0, which is not possible because Euler's method requires a step size greater than zero to iterate through the solution.

Therefore, we cannot proceed with the process of Euler's method without a valid step size. Typically, one would start at t = 0 with the initial value y(0) = 1.9 and use incremental steps of h (other than 0.0) to estimate y at the points t = 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 as requested. The solution process would involve iterative calculations using the differential equation y' = -ty + 0.1y3 at each step.
