(errno )

In the integration with initial or final parameters, the step size was reduced too far for the integration to proceed. Either this function is not a suitable method for solving the problem, or the initial choice of parameters is very poor.

(errno )

In the integration with initial or final parameters, a suitable initial step could not be found. Either this function is not suitable for solving the problem, or the initial choice of parameters is very poor.

(errno )

An initial step-length could be found for integration to proceed with the current parameters.

(errno )

The step-length required to calculate the Jacobian to sufficient accuracy is too small

(errno )

The Jacobian has an insignificant column. Make sure that the solution vector depends on all the parameters.

(errno )

An internal singular value decomposition has failed.

This error can be avoided by changing the initial parameter estimates.

(errno )

The Newton iteration has failed to converge.

This can indicate a poor initial choice of parameters or a very difficult problem.

Consider varying elements of the parameter convergence control if the residuals are small; otherwise vary initial parameter estimates.

Notes

No equivalent traditional C interface for this routine exists in the NAG Library.

bvp_shoot_bval solves a two-point boundary value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations in the range . 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 (called parameters below); the function corrects these by a form of Newton iteration. It also calculates the complete solution on an equispaced mesh if required.

Starting from the known and estimated values of at , the function integrates the equations from to (using a Runge–Kutta–Merson method). The differences between the values of at from integration and those specified initially should be zero for the true solution. (These differences are called residuals below.) The function uses a generalized Newton method to reduce the residuals to zero, by calculating corrections to the estimated boundary values. This process is repeated iteratively until convergence is obtained, or until the function can no longer reduce the residuals. See Hall and Watt (1976) for a simple discussion of shooting and matching techniques.
