Purpose

nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) is a reverse communication function for integrating a non-stiff system of first-order ordinary differential equations using a variable-order variable-step Adams' method. A root-finding facility is provided.

Syntax

[t, y, root, irevcm, trvcm, yrvcm, yprvcm, kgrvcm, rwork, iwork, ifail] = d02qg(t, y, tout, neqg, irevcm, grvcm, kgrvcm, rwork, iwork, 'neqf', neqf)
[t, y, root, irevcm, trvcm, yrvcm, yprvcm, kgrvcm, rwork, iwork, ifail] = nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom(t, y, tout, neqg, irevcm, grvcm, kgrvcm, rwork, iwork, 'neqf', neqf)
Note: the interface to this routine has changed since earlier releases of the toolbox:
At Mark 22: lrwork and liwork were removed from the interface

Description

Given the initial values x,y1,y2,,yneqf nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) integrates a non-stiff system of first-order differential equations of the type
yi=fix,y1,y2,,yneqf,  i=1,2,,neqf,  
from x=t to x=tout using a variable-order variable-step Adams' method. You define the system by reverse communication, evaluating fi in terms of x and y1,y2,,yneqf, and y1,y2,,yneqf are supplied at x=t by nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg). The function is capable of finding roots (values of x) of prescribed event functions of the form
gj x,y,y = 0 ,   j=1,2,,neqg.  
Each gj is considered to be independent of the others so that roots are sought of each gj individually. The root reported by the function will be the first root encountered by any gj. Two techniques for determining the presence of a root in an integration step are available: the sophisticated method described in Watts (1985) and a simplified method whereby sign changes in each gj are looked for at the ends of each integration step. You also define each gj by reverse communication. In one-step mode the function returns an approximation to the solution at each integration point. In interval mode this value is returned at the end of the integration range. If a root is detected this approximation is given at the root. You select the mode of operation, the error control, the root-finding technique and various optional inputs by a prior call to the setup function nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw).
For a description of the practical implementation of an Adams' formula see Shampine and Gordon (1975).

Parameters

Note: this function uses reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the argument irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries, all arguments other than grvcm and rwork must remain unchanged.

Compulsory Input Parameters

1:     t – double scalar
On initial entry: that is after a call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw) with statef='S', t must be set to the initial value of the independent variable x.
2:     yneqf – double array
On initial entry: the initial values of the solution y1,y2,,yneqf.
3:     tout – double scalar
On initial entry: the next value of x at which a computed solution is required. For the initial t, the input value of tout is used to determine the direction of integration. Integration is permitted in either direction. If tout=t on exit, tout must be reset beyond t in the direction of integration, before any continuation call.
4:     neqg int64int32nag_int scalar
On initial entry: the number of event functions which you are defining for root-finding. If root-finding is not required the value for neqg must be 0. Otherwise it must be the same value as the argument neqg used in the prior call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw).
5:     irevcm int64int32nag_int scalar
On initial entry: must have the value 0.
6:     grvcm – double scalar
On initial entry: need not be set.
On intermediate re-entry: with irevcm=9, 10, 11 or 12, grvcm must contain the value of gkx,y,y, where k is given by kgrvcm.
7:     kgrvcm int64int32nag_int scalar
On intermediate re-entry: with irevcm=9, 10, 11 or 12, kgrvcm must remain unchanged from a previous call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg).
8:     rworklrwork – double array
This must be the same argument rwork as supplied to nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw). It is used to pass information from nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw) to nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg), and from nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) to nag_ode_ivp_adams_diag (d02qx), nag_ode_ivp_adams_rootdiag (d02qy) and nag_ode_ivp_adams_interp (d02qz). Therefore the contents of this array must not be changed before the call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) or calling any of the functions nag_ode_ivp_adams_diag (d02qx), nag_ode_ivp_adams_rootdiag (d02qy) and nag_ode_ivp_adams_interp (d02qz).
9:     iworkliwork int64int32nag_int array
This must be the same argument iwork as supplied to nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw). It is used to pass information from nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw) to nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg), and from nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) to nag_ode_ivp_adams_diag (d02qx), nag_ode_ivp_adams_rootdiag (d02qy) and nag_ode_ivp_adams_interp (d02qz). Therefore the contents of this array must not be changed before the call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) or calling any of the functions nag_ode_ivp_adams_diag (d02qx), nag_ode_ivp_adams_rootdiag (d02qy) and nag_ode_ivp_adams_interp (d02qz).

Optional Input Parameters

1:     neqf int64int32nag_int scalar
Default: the dimension of the array y.
On initial entry: the number of first-order ordinary differential equations to be solved by nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg). It must contain the same value as the argument neqf used in the prior call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw).
Constraint: neqf1.

Output Parameters

1:     t – double scalar
On final exit: the value of x at which y has been computed. This may be an intermediate output point, a root, tout or a point at which an error has occurred. If the integration is to be continued, possibly with a new value for tout, t must not be changed.
2:     yneqf – double array
On final exit: the computed values of the solution at the exit value of t. If the integration is to be continued, possibly with a new value for tout, these values must not be changed.
3:     root – logical scalar
On final exit: if root-finding was required (neqg>0 on entry), then root specifies whether or not the output value of the argument t is a root of one of the event functions. If root=false, then no root was detected, whereas root=true indicates a root and you should make a call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_rootdiag (d02qy) for further information.
If root-finding was not required (neqg=0 on entry), then root=false.
4:     irevcm int64int32nag_int scalar
On intermediate exit: specifies what action you must take before re-entering nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) with irevcm unchanged.
irevcm=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7
Indicates that you must supply y=fx,y, where x is given by trvcm and yi is returned in yi, for i=1,2,,neqf when yrvcm=0 and rworkyrvcm+i-1, for i=1,2,,neqf when yrvcm0. yi should be placed in location rworkyprvcm+i-1, for i=1,2,,neqf.
irevcm=8
Indicates that the current step was not successful due to error test failure. The only information supplied to you on this return is the current value of the independent variable t, as given by trvcm. No values must be changed before re-entering nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg). This facility enables you to determine the number of unsuccessful steps.
irevcm=9, 10, 11 or 12
Indicates that you must supply gkx,y,y, where k is given by kgrvcm, x is given by trvcm, yi is given by yi and yi is given by rworkyprvcm-1+i. The result gk should be placed in the variable grvcm.
On final exit: has the value 0, which indicates that an output point or root has been reached or an error has occurred (see ifail).
5:     trvcm – double scalar
On intermediate exit: the current value of the independent variable.
6:     yrvcm int64int32nag_int scalar
On intermediate exit: with irevcm=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 or 12, yrvcm specifies the locations of the dependent variables y for use in evaluating the differential system or the event functions.
yrvcm=0
yi is given by yi, for i=1,2,,neqf.
yrvcm0
yi is given by rworkyrvcm+i-1, for i=1,2,,neqf.
7:     yprvcm int64int32nag_int scalar
On intermediate exit: with irevcm=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, yprvcm specifies the positions in rwork at which you should place the derivatives y. yi should be placed in location rworkyprvcm+i-1, for i=1,2,,neqf.
With irevcm=9, 10, 11 or 12, yprvcm specifies the locations of the derivatives y for use in evaluating the event functions. yi is given by rworkyprvcm+i-1, for i=1,2,,neqf.
8:     kgrvcm int64int32nag_int scalar
On intermediate exit: with irevcm=9, 10, 11 or 12, kgrvcm specifies which event function gkx,y,y you must evaluate.
9:     rworklrwork – double array
10:   iworkliwork int64int32nag_int array
11:   ifail int64int32nag_int scalar
On final exit: ifail=0 unless the function detects an error (see Error Indicators and Warnings).

Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the function:

Cases prefixed with W are classified as warnings and do not generate an error of type NAG:error_n. See nag_issue_warnings.

   ifail=1
On entry, the integrator detected an illegal input, or nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw) has not been called before the call to the integrator.
This error may be caused by overwriting elements of rwork and iwork.
W  ifail=2
The maximum number of steps has been attempted (at a cost of about 2 derivative evaluations per step). (See argument maxstp in nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw).) If integration is to be continued then you need only reset ifail and call the function again and a further maxstp steps will be attempted.
   ifail=3
The step size needed to satisfy the error requirements is too small for the machine precision being used. (See argument tolfac in nag_ode_ivp_adams_diag (d02qx).)
W  ifail=4
Some error weight wi became zero during the integration (see arguments vectol, rtol and atol in nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw).) Pure relative error control (atol=0.0) was requested on a variable (the ith) which has now become zero. (See argument badcmp in nag_ode_ivp_adams_diag (d02qx).) The integration was successful as far as t.
W  ifail=5
The problem appears to be stiff (see the D02 Chapter Introduction for a discussion of the term ‘stiff’). Although it is inefficient to use this integrator to solve stiff problems, integration may be continued by resetting ifail and calling the function again.
W  ifail=6
A change in sign of an event function has been detected but the root-finding process appears to have converged to a singular point t rather than a root. Integration may be continued by resetting ifail and calling the function again.
   ifail=7
The code has detected two successive error exits at the current value of t and cannot proceed. Check all input variables.
   ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
   ifail=-399
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
   ifail=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.

Accuracy

The accuracy of integration is determined by the arguments vectol, rtol and atol in a prior call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw). Note that only the local error at each step is controlled by these arguments. The error estimates obtained are not strict bounds but are usually reliable over one step. Over a number of steps the overall error may accumulate in various ways, depending on the properties of the differential equation system. The code is designed so that a reduction in the tolerances should lead to an approximately proportional reduction in the error. You are strongly recommended to call nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) with more than one set of tolerances and to compare the results obtained to estimate their accuracy.
The accuracy obtained depends on the type of error test used. If the solution oscillates around zero a relative error test should be avoided, whereas if the solution is exponentially increasing an absolute error test should not be used. If different accuracies are required for different components of the solution then a component-wise error test should be used. For a description of the error test see the specifications of the arguments vectol, rtol and atol in the function document for nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw).
The accuracy of any roots located will depend on the accuracy of integration and may also be restricted by the numerical properties of gx,y,y. When evaluating g you should try to write the code so that unnecessary cancellation errors will be avoided.

Further Comments

If nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) fails with ifail=3 then the combination of atol and rtol may be so small that a solution cannot be obtained, in which case the function should be called again with larger values for rtol and/or atol (see nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw)). If the accuracy requested is really needed then you should consider whether there is a more fundamental difficulty. For example:
(a) in the region of a singularity the solution components will usually be of a large magnitude. nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) could be used in one-step mode to monitor the size of the solution with the aim of trapping the solution before the singularity. In any case numerical integration cannot be continued through a singularity, and analytical treatment may be necessary;
(b) for ‘stiff’ equations, where the solution contains rapidly decaying components, the function will require a very small step size to preserve stability. This will usually be exhibited by excessive computing time and sometimes an error exit with ifail=3, but usually an error exit with ifail=2 or 5. The Adams' methods are not efficient in such cases and you should consider using a function from the Sub-chapter D02M–N. A high proportion of failed steps (see argument nfail in nag_ode_ivp_adams_diag (d02qx)) may indicate stiffness but there may be other reasons for this phenomenon.
nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) can be used for producing results at short intervals (for example, for graph plotting); you should set crit=true and tcrit to the last output point required in a prior call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_setup (d02qw) and then set tout appropriately for each output point in turn in the call to nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg)

Example

This example solves the following system (for a projectile)
y=tanϕ v= -0.032 tanϕ v - 0.02v cosϕ ϕ= -0.032 v2  
over an interval 0.0,10.0 starting with values y=0.5, v=0.5 and ϕ=π/5 using scalar error control (vectol=false) until the first point where y=0.0 is encountered.
Also, nag_ode_ivp_adams_roots_revcom (d02qg) is used to produce output at intervals of 2.0.
