1  Purpose

nag_pde_interp_1d_fd (d03pzc) interpolates in the spatial coordinate the solution and derivative of a system of partial differential equations (PDEs). The solution must first be computed using one of the finite difference schemes nag_pde_parab_1d_fd (d03pcc)nag_pde_parab_1d_fd_ode (d03phc) or nag_pde_parab_1d_fd_ode_remesh (d03ppc), or one of the Keller box schemes nag_pde_parab_1d_keller (d03pec)nag_pde_parab_1d_keller_ode (d03pkc) or nag_pde_parab_1d_keller_ode_remesh (d03prc).

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagd03.h>
void  nag_pde_interp_1d_fd (Integer npde, Integer m, const double u[], Integer npts, const double x[], const double xp[], Integer intpts, Integer itype, double up[], NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_pde_interp_1d_fd (d03pzc) is an interpolation function for evaluating the solution of a system of partial differential equations (PDEs), at a set of user-specified points. The solution of the system of equations (possibly with coupled ordinary differential equations) must be computed using a finite difference scheme or a Keller box scheme on a set of mesh points. nag_pde_interp_1d_fd (d03pzc) can then be employed to compute the solution at a set of points anywhere in the range of the mesh. It can also evaluate the first spatial derivative of the solution. It uses linear interpolation for approximating the solution.

5  Arguments

Note: the arguments x, m, u, npts and npde must be supplied unchanged from the PDE function.
1:     npdeIntegerInput
On entry: the number of PDEs.
Constraint: npde1.
2:     mIntegerInput
On entry: the coordinate system used. If the call to nag_pde_interp_1d_fd (d03pzc) follows one of the finite difference functions then m must be the same argument m as used in that call. For the Keller box scheme only Cartesian coordinate systems are valid and so m must be set to zero. No check will be made by nag_pde_interp_1d_fd (d03pzc) in this case.
m=0
Indicates Cartesian coordinates.
m=1
Indicates cylindrical polar coordinates.
m=2
Indicates spherical polar coordinates.
Constraints:
  • 0m2 following a finite difference function;
  • m=0 following a Keller box scheme function.
3:     u[npde×npts]const doubleInput
On entry: the PDE part of the original solution returned in the argument u by the PDE function.
Constraint: npde1.
4:     nptsIntegerInput
On entry: the number of mesh points.
Constraint: npts3.
5:     x[npts]const doubleInput
On entry: x[i-1], for i=1,2,,npts, must contain the mesh points as used by the PDE function.
6:     xp[intpts]const doubleInput
On entry: xp[i-1], for i=1,2,,intpts, must contain the spatial interpolation points.
Constraint: x[0]xp[0]<xp[1]<<xp[intpts-1]x[npts-1].
7:     intptsIntegerInput
On entry: the number of interpolation points.
Constraint: intpts1.
8:     itypeIntegerInput
On entry: specifies the interpolation to be performed.
itype=1
The solutions at the interpolation points are computed.
itype=2
Both the solutions and their first derivatives at the interpolation points are computed.
Constraint: itype=1 or 2.
9:     up[dim]doubleOutput
Note: the dimension, dim, of the array up must be at least npde×intpts×itype.
The element UPi,j,k is stored in the array element up[k-1×npde×intpts+j-1×npde+i-1].
On exit: if itype=1, UPi,j,1, contains the value of the solution Uixj,tout, at the interpolation points xj=xp[j-1], for j=1,2,,intpts and i=1,2,,npde.
If itype=2, UPi,j,1 contains Uixj,tout and UPi,j,2 contains Ui x  at these points.
10:   failNagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).
