(errno )

The Newton iteration has failed to converge.

This could be due to there being too few points in the initial mesh or to the initial approximate solution being too inaccurate. If this latter reason is suspected or you cannot make changes to prevent this error, you should use the routine with a continuation facility instead.

(errno )

A serious error occurred in a call to the internal integrator.

Warns
NagAlgorithmicWarning
(errno )

Newton iteration has reached round-off level.

If desired accuracy has not been reached, is too small for this problem and this machine precision.

(errno )

A finer mesh is required for the accuracy requested; that is, is not large enough.

Notes

In the NAG Library the traditional C interface for this routine uses a different algorithmic base. Please contact NAG if you have any questions about compatibility.

bvp_fd_nonlin_fixedbc solves a two-point boundary value problem for a system of differential equations in the interval []. The system is written in the form:

and the derivatives are evaluated by . Initially, boundary values of the variables must be specified, some at and some at . You must supply estimates of the remaining boundary values and all the boundary values are used in constructing an initial approximation to the solution. This approximate solution is corrected by a finite difference technique with deferred correction allied with a Newton iteration to solve the finite difference equations. The technique used is described fully in Pereyra (1979). The Newton iteration requires a Jacobian matrix and this is calculated by numerical differentiation using an algorithm described in Curtis et al. (1974).

You supply an absolute error tolerance and may also supply an initial mesh for the construction of the finite difference equations (alternatively a default mesh is used). The algorithm constructs a solution on a mesh defined by adding points to the initial mesh. This solution is chosen so that the error is everywhere less than your tolerance and so that the error is approximately equidistributed on the final mesh. The solution is returned on this final mesh.

If the solution is required at a few specific points then these should be included in the initial mesh. If on the other hand the solution is required at several specific points then you should use the interpolation functions provided in submodule interp if these points do not themselves form a convenient mesh.
