This must be called before running the solver. This function returns a state object for use in the solver. The user must not modify the state.
The ODE to be solved is given in fex, which is a list of the equations. vars is a list of independent variable and the dependent variables. The list of dependent variables must be in the same order as the equations if fex. Finally, method indicates the method to be used by the solver:
10
Nonstiff (Adams) method, no Jacobian used.
21
Stiff (BDF) method, user-supplied full Jacobian.
22
Stiff method, internally generated full Jacobian.
The returned state object is a list of lists. The sublist is a list of two elements:
f
The compiled function for the ODE.
vars
The list independent and dependent variables (vars).
mf
The method to be used (method).
neq
The number of equations.
lrw
Length of the work vector for real values.
liw
Length of the work vector for integer values.
rwork
Lisp array holding the real-valued work vector.
iwork
Lisp array holding the integer-valued work vector.
fjac
Compiled analytical Jacobian of the equations
See also dlsode_step
.
Performs one step of the solver, returning the values of the independent and dependent variables, a success or error code.
inity
For the first call (when istate = 1), the initial values
t
Current value of the independent value
tout
Next point where output is desired which must not be equal to t.
rtol
relative tolerance parameter
atol
Absolute tolerance parameter, scalar of vector. If scalar, it applies to all dependent variables. Otherwise it must be the tolerance for each dependent variable.
Use rtol = 0 for pure absolute error and use atol = 0 for pure relative error.
istate
1 for the first call to dlsode, 2 for subsequent calls.
state
state returned by dlsode_init.
The output is a list of the following items:
t
independent variable value
y
list of values of the dependent variables at time t.
istate
Integration status:
1
no work because tout = tt
2
successful result
-1
Excess work done on this call
-2
Excess accuracy requested
-3
Illegal input detected
-4
Repeated error test failures
-5
Repeated convergence failures (perhaps bad Jacobian or wrong choice of mf or tolerances)
-6
Error weight because zero during problem (solution component is vanished and atol(i) = 0.
info
association list of various bits of information:
n_steps
total steps taken thus far
n_f_eval
total number of function evals
n_j_eval
total number of Jacobian evals
method_order
method order
len_rwork
Actual length used for real work array
len_iwork
Actual length used for integer work array
