dae

Differential algebraic equations solver

Syntax

y = dae(y0, t0, t, res)
[y [,hd]] = dae(y0, t0, t [[,rtol], atol], res [,jac] [,hd])

[y, rd] = dae("root", y0, t0, t, res, ng, surface)
[y, rd [,hd]] = dae("root", y0, t0, t [[,rtol], atol], res [,jac], ng, surface [,hd])

[y, rd] = dae("root2", y0, t0, t, res, ng, surface)
[y, rd [,hd]] = dae("root2", y0, t0, t [[,rtol], atol], res [,jac], ng, surface [, psol, pjac] [, hd])

y = dae("stiff"|"adams", y0, t0, t, res, adda)
[y [,hd]] = dae("stiff"|"adams", y0, t0, t [[,rtol], atol], res [,jac], adda [,hd])

Arguments

y0

a column vector or a matrix. It may be equal to x0 or [x0, xdot0]. Where x0 is the state value at initial time t0 and xdot0 is the initial state derivative value or an estimation of it (see below).

t0

a real number, the initial time.

t

a real scalar or vector. Gives instants for which you want the solution. Note that you can get solution at each dae's step point by setting %DAEOPTIONS(2)=1 .

rtol

a real scalar or a column vector of same size as x0, the relative error tolerance of solution. If rtol is a vector the tolerances are specified for each component of the state.

atol

a real scalar or a column vector of same size as x0, the absolute error tolerance of solution. If atol is a vector the tolerances are specified for each component of the state.

res

an external function, computes the value of g(t, y, ydot). It may be a Scilab function, list or string. The syntax differs depending on the solver used. See residual description section for more details.

jac

an external function, computes the Jacobian of the function g(t, y, ydot). It may be a Scilab function, list or string. The syntax differs depending on the solver used. See jacobian description section for more details.

surface

an external (function, list or string), computes the value of the column vector surface(t,x) with ng components. Each component defines a surface. Used ONLY with dasrt ("root") and daskr ("root2") solvers. For more details, see surface description section.

adda

an external (function, list or string), computes p = p + a with a = a(t,y). Used ONLY with "stiff" and "adams" solver. See adda description section for more details.

psol

external (function, list or string). Used ONLY with "root2" (daskr) solver. Solves a linear system P*x = b, with P being the factored preconditioner that routine pjac computed beforehand and stored in wp and iwp. See psol description section for more details.

pjac

external (function, list or string). Used ONLY with "root2" (daskr) solver. Computes the value of dg/dy + cj*dg/dydot for a given value of parameter cj and LU-factorizes it in two arrays, real and integer. See pjac description section for more details.

y

a real matrix. If %DAEOPTIONS(2)=1 , each column is the vector [t;x(t);xdot(t)] where t is time index for which the solution has been computed. Else y is the vector [x(t);xdot(t)].

rd

a vector with two entries [times num] where times is the value of the time at which the surface is crossed, num is the number of the crossed surface

hd

a real vector, as an output it stores the dae context. It can be used as an input argument to resume integration (hot restart).

Description

The dae function solves the differential algebraic equation and returns the evolution of y a given time points

g(t, x, xdot) = 0
x(t0) = x0 and xdot(t0) = xdot0

If xdot0 is not given in the y0 argument, the dae function tries to compute it solving g(t,x0,xdot0)=0.

If xdot0 is given in the y0 argument it may be either a compatible derivative satisfying g(t,x0,xdot0)=0 or an approximate value. In the latter case %DAEOPTIONS(7) must be set to 1.

The solvers

The type of problem solved and the method used depend on the value of the first optional argument type which can be one of the following strings:

<not given>:

the dassl solver.

"root":

the dasrt solver. See help on dae_root for more details.

"root2":

the daskr solver. See help on dae_root for more details.

"adams":

This is for nonstiff problems. lsodi solver of package ODEPACK is called and it uses the Adams method.

"stiff":

This is for stiff problems. lsodi solver of package ODEPACK is called and it uses the BDF method.

Residual function

The input argument res is the right hand side usually called "residual" of the DAE. It is an external i.e. a function with specifed syntax, or the name a Fortran subroutine or a C function (character string) with specified syntax or a list. The function syntax differs depending on used solver when res is the character string.

a Scilab function

In this case, the syntax must be

[r, ires] = res(t, y, ydot)

where res must return the residue and error flag ires.

ires = 0 if res succeeds to compute r.

ires = -1 if residue is locally not defined for g(t, x, xdot).

ires =-2 if parameters are out of admissible range.

If adams or stiff solver is used, this function must return r = g(t,y)-A(t,y)*ydot

a list

This form of external is used to pass parameters to the function. It must be as follows:

list(res, p1, p2, ...)

where the syntax of the function res is now

r = res(t, y, ydot, p1, p2, ...)

res still returns the residual value as a function of (t, x, xdot, x1, x2, ...), and p1, p2,... are function parameters.

a character string

It must refer to the name of a C or Fortran routine. In function of solver, the syntax is different. Assuming that <r_name> is the given name,

    subroutine <r_name>(t, x, xdot, res, ires, rpar, ipar)
