3 Description

d02tlf and its associated routines (d02tvf, d02txf, d02tyf and d02tzf) solve the two-point boundary value problem for a nonlinear mixed order system of ordinary differential equations
y1(m1) (x) = f1 (x,y1,y1(1),,y1(m1-1),y2,,yn(mn-1)) y2(m2) (x) = f2 (x,y1,y1(1),,y1(m1-1),y2,,yn(mn-1)) yn(mn) (x) = fn (x,y1,y1(1),,y1(m1-1),y2,,yn(mn-1))  
over an interval [a,b] subject to p (>0) nonlinear boundary conditions at a and q (>0) nonlinear boundary conditions at b, where p+q = i=1 n mi . Note that yi (m) (x) is the mth derivative of the ith solution component. Hence yi (0) (x)=yi(x). The left boundary conditions at a are defined as
gi(z(y(a)))=0,  i=1,2,,p,  
and the right boundary conditions at b as
g¯j(z(y(b)))=0,  j=1,2,,q,  
where y=(y1,y2,,yn) and
z(y(x)) = (y1(x), y1(1) (x) ,, y1(m1-1) (x) ,y2(x),, yn(mn-1) (x) ) .  
First, d02tvf must be called to specify the initial mesh, error requirements and other details. Note that the error requirements apply only to the solution components y1,y2,,yn and that no error control is applied to derivatives of solution components. (If error control is required on derivatives then the system must be reduced in order by introducing the derivatives whose error is to be controlled as new variables. See Section 9 in d02tvf.) Then, d02tlf can be used to solve the boundary value problem. After successful computation, d02tzf can be used to ascertain details about the final mesh and other details of the solution procedure, and d02tyf can be used to compute the approximate solution anywhere on the interval [a,b].
A description of the numerical technique used in d02tlf is given in Section 3 in d02tvf.
d02tlf can also be used in the solution of a series of problems, for example in performing continuation, when the mesh used to compute the solution of one problem is to be used as the initial mesh for the solution of the next related problem. d02txf should be used in between calls to d02tlf in this context.
See Section 9 in d02tvf for details of how to solve boundary value problems of a more general nature.
The routines are based on modified versions of the codes COLSYS and COLNEW (see Ascher et al. (1979) and Ascher and Bader (1987)). A comprehensive treatment of the numerical solution of boundary value problems can be found in Ascher et al. (1988) and Keller (1992).

Note: guess should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by d02tlf. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, d02tlf is likely to produce unexpected results.
8: rcomm(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Communication Array
Note: the dimension of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array must be the same array passed as argument rcomm in the previous call to d02tvf.
On entry: this must be the same array as supplied to d02tvf and must remain unchanged between calls.
On exit: contains information about the solution for use on subsequent calls to associated routines.
9: icomm(*) Integer array Communication Array
Note: the dimension of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array must be the same array passed as argument icomm in the previous call to d02tvf.
On entry: this must be the same array as supplied to d02tvf and must remain unchanged between calls.

10: iuser(*) Integer array User Workspace
11: ruser(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array User Workspace
iuser and ruser are not used by d02tlf, but are passed directly to ffun, fjac, gafun, gbfun, gajac, gbjac and guess and may be used to pass information to these routines.
12: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, −1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of −1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value −1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value −1 is recommended since useful values can be provided in some output arguments even when ifail0 on exit. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or −1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
Note: in some cases d02tlf may return useful information.
ifail=1
Either the setup routine has not been called or the communication arrays have become corrupted. No solution will be computed.
ifail=2
Numerical singularity has been detected in the Jacobian used in the Newton iteration.
No results have been generated. Check the coding of the routines for calculating the Jacobians of system and boundary conditions.
ifail=3
All Newton iterations that have been attempted have failed to converge.
No results have been generated. Check the coding of the routines for calculating the Jacobians of system and boundary conditions.
Try to provide a better initial solution approximation.
ifail=4
A Newton iteration has failed to converge. The computation has not succeeded but results have been returned for an intermediate mesh on which convergence was achieved.
These results should be treated with extreme caution.
ifail=5
The expected number of sub-intervals required to continue the computation exceeds the maximum specified: value.
Results have been generated which may be useful.
Try increasing this number or relaxing the error requirements.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.
ifail=-399
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.
ifail=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 9 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

7 Accuracy

The accuracy of the solution is determined by the argument tols in the prior call to d02tvf (see Sections 3 and 9 in d02tvf for details and advice). Note that error control is applied only to solution components (variables) and not to any derivatives of the solution. An estimate of the maximum error in the computed solution is available by calling d02tzf.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
d02tlf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
d02tlf makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

If d02tlf returns with ifail=2, 3, 4 or 5 and the call to d02tlf was a part of some continuation procedure for which successful calls to d02tlf have already been made, then it is possible that the adjustment(s) to the continuation parameter(s) between calls to d02tlf is (are) too large for the problem under consideration. More conservative adjustment(s) to the continuation parameter(s) might be appropriate.

10 Example

The following example is used to illustrate the treatment of a high-order system, control of the error in a derivative of a component of the original system, and the use of continuation. See also d02tvf, d02txf, d02tyf and d02tzf, for the illustration of other facilities.
Consider the steady flow of an incompressible viscous fluid between two infinite coaxial rotating discs. See Ascher et al. (1979) and the references therein. The governing equations are
1R f + ff + gg = 0 1R g + fg - fg = 0  
subject to the boundary conditions
f(0)=f(0)= 0,   g(0)=Ω0,   f(1)=f(1)= 0,   g(1)=Ω1,  
where R is the Reynolds number and Ω0,Ω1 are the angular velocities of the disks.
We consider the case of counter-rotation and a symmetric solution, that is Ω0=1, Ω1=−1. This problem is more difficult to solve, the larger the value of R. For illustration, we use simple continuation to compute the solution for three different values of R (=106,108,1010). However, this problem can be addressed directly for the largest value of R considered here. Instead of the values suggested in Section 5 in d02txf for nmesh, ipmesh and mesh in the call to d02txf prior to a continuation call, we use every point of the final mesh for the solution of the first value of R, that is we must modify the contents of ipmesh. For illustrative purposes we wish to control the computed error in f and so recast the equations as
y1 = y2 y2 = -R(y1y2+y3y3) y3 = R(y2y3-y1y3)  
subject to the boundary conditions
y1(0)=y2(0)= 0,   y3(0)=Ω,   y1(1)=y2(1)= 0,   y3(1)=-Ω,   Ω=1.  
For the symmetric boundary conditions considered, there exists an odd solution about x=0.5. Hence, to satisfy the boundary conditions, we use the following initial approximations to the solution in guess:
y1(x) = -x2(x-12) (x-1) 2 y2(x) = -x(x-1)(5x2-5x+1) y3(x) = −8Ω (x-12) 3.
