# naginterfaces.library.ode.ivp_​stiff_​contin¶

naginterfaces.library.ode.ivp_stiff_contin(neqmax, tcrit, h, hmin, hmax, maxstp, mxhnil, comm)[source]

ivp_stiff_contin is a setup function which must be called, if optional inputs need resetting, prior to a continuation call to any of those integrators in submodule ode that use methods set up by calls to ivp_stiff_dassl(), ivp_stiff_bdf() or ivp_stiff_blend().

Parameters
neqmaxint

The value used for the argument when calling the integrator.

tcritfloat

A point beyond which integration must not be attempted. The use of is described under the argument in the specification for the integrator (e.g., see ivp_stiff_exp_fulljac()). A value, say, must be specified even if subsequently specifies that will not be used.

hfloat

The next step size to be attempted. Set if the current value of is not to be changed.

hminfloat

The minimum absolute step size to be allowed. Set if this option is not required. Set if the current value of is not to be changed.

hmaxfloat

The maximum absolute step size to be allowed. Set if this option is not required. Set if the current value of is not to be changed.

maxstpint

The maximum number of steps to be attempted during one call to the integrator after which it will return with = 2 (see ivp_stiff_exp_bandjac()). Set if this option is not required. Set if the current value of is not to be changed.

mxhnilint

The maximum number of warnings printed (if , e.g., see ivp_stiff_exp_fulljac()) per problem when on a step (). If , a default value of is assumed.

commdict, communication object, modified in place

Communication structure.

This argument must have been initialized by a prior call to ivp_stiff_dassl(), ivp_stiff_bdf() or ivp_stiff_blend().

Raises
NagValueError
(errno )

On entry, .

Constraint: .

Notes

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

ivp_stiff_contin is provided to permit you to reset many of the arguments which control the integration ‘on the fly’, that is in conjunction with the interrupt facility permitted through the argument of the integrator (e.g., see ivp_stiff_exp_fulljac()). In addition to a number of arguments which you can set initially through one of the integrator setup functions, the step size to be attempted on the next step may be changed.
