Raises
NagValueError
(errno )

Either the setup function has not been called or the communication arrays have become corrupted. No solution will be computed.

(errno )

Numerical singularity has been detected in the Jacobian used in the Newton iteration.

No results have been generated. Check the coding of the functions for calculating the Jacobians of system and boundary conditions.

(errno )

All Newton iterations that have been attempted have failed to converge.

No results have been generated. Check the coding of the functions for calculating the Jacobians of system and boundary conditions.

Try to provide a better initial solution approximation.

Warns
NagAlgorithmicWarning
(errno )

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.

(errno )

The expected number of sub-intervals required to continue the computation exceeds the maximum specified: .

Results have been generated which may be useful.

Try increasing this number or relaxing the error requirements.

Notes

bvp_coll_nlin_solve and its associated functions (bvp_coll_nlin_setup(), bvp_coll_nlin_contin(), bvp_coll_nlin_interp() and bvp_coll_nlin_diag()) solve the two-point boundary value problem for a nonlinear mixed order system of ordinary differential equations

over an interval subject to () nonlinear boundary conditions at and () nonlinear boundary conditions at , where . Note that is the th derivative of the th solution component. Hence . The left boundary conditions at are defined as

and the right boundary conditions at as

where and

First, bvp_coll_nlin_setup() must be called to specify the initial mesh, error requirements and other details. Note that the error requirements apply only to the solution components 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 Further Comments.) Then, bvp_coll_nlin_solve can be used to solve the boundary value problem. After successful computation, bvp_coll_nlin_diag() can be used to ascertain details about the final mesh and other details of the solution procedure, and bvp_coll_nlin_interp() can be used to compute the approximate solution anywhere on the interval .

A description of the numerical technique used in bvp_coll_nlin_solve is given in Notes for bvp_coll_nlin_setup.

bvp_coll_nlin_solve 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. bvp_coll_nlin_contin() should be used in between calls to bvp_coll_nlin_solve in this context.

See Further Comments for details of how to solve boundary value problems of a more general nature.

The functions 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).
