public abstract class AdaptiveStepsizeIntegrator
extends AbstractIntegrator

This abstract class holds the common part of all adaptive stepsize integrators for Ordinary Differential Equations.

These algorithms perform integration with stepsize control, which means the user does not specify the integration step but rather a tolerance on error. The error threshold is computed as

 threshold_i = absTol_i + relTol_i * max (abs (ym), abs (ym+1))
 

where absTol_i is the absolute tolerance for component i of the state vector and relTol_i is the relative tolerance for the same component. The user can also use only two scalar values absTol and relTol which will be used for all components.

If the Ordinary Differential Equations is an extended ODE rather than a basic ODE, then only the primary part of the state vector is used for stepsize control, not the complete state vector.

If the estimated error for ym+1 is such that

 sqrt((sum (errEst_i / threshold_i)^2 ) / n) < 1
 

(where n is the main set dimension) then the step is accepted, otherwise the step is rejected and a new attempt is made with a new stepsize.

Parameters:

name - name of the method

Method Detail

setStepSizeControl

public void setStepSizeControl(double minimalStep,
                               double maximalStep,
                               double absoluteTolerance,
                               double relativeTolerance)

Set the adaptive step size control parameters.

A side effect of this method is to also reset the initial step so it will be automatically computed by the integrator if setInitialStepSize is not called by the user.

Parameters:

minimalStep - minimal step (must be positive even for backward integration), the last step can be smaller than this

maximalStep - maximal step (must be positive even for backward integration)

absoluteTolerance - allowed absolute error

relativeTolerance - allowed relative error

setStepSizeControl

public void setStepSizeControl(double minimalStep,
                               double maximalStep,
                               double[] absoluteTolerance,
                               double[] relativeTolerance)

Set the adaptive step size control parameters.

A side effect of this method is to also reset the initial step so it will be automatically computed by the integrator if setInitialStepSize is not called by the user.

Parameters:

minimalStep - minimal step (must be positive even for backward integration), the last step can be smaller than this

maximalStep - maximal step (must be positive even for backward integration)

absoluteTolerance - allowed absolute error

relativeTolerance - allowed relative error

setInitialStepSize

public void setInitialStepSize(double initialStepSize)

Set the initial step size.

This method allows the user to specify an initial positive step size instead of letting the integrator guess it by itself. If this method is not called before integration is started, the initial step size will be estimated by the integrator.

Parameters:

initialStepSize - initial step size to use (must be positive even for backward integration ; providing a negative value or a value outside of the min/max step interval will lead the integrator to ignore the value and compute the initial step size by itself)

                            double t)
                     throws DimensionMismatchException,
                            NumberIsTooSmallException

Check the integration span.

Overrides:

sanityChecks in class AbstractIntegrator

Parameters:

equations - set of differential equations

t - target time for the integration

Throws:

DimensionMismatchException - if adaptive step size integrators tolerance arrays dimensions are not compatible with equations settings

NumberIsTooSmallException - if integration span is too small

initializeStep

public double initializeStep(boolean forward,
                             int order,
                             double[] scale,

                             double[] y0,
                             double[] yDot0,
                             double[] y1,
                             double[] yDot1)
                      throws MaxCountExceededException,
                             DimensionMismatchException

Initialize the integration step.

Parameters:

forward - forward integration indicator

order - order of the method

scale - scaling vector for the state vector (can be shorter than state vector)

t0 - start time

y0 - state vector at t0

yDot0 - first time derivative of y0

y1 - work array for a state vector

yDot1 - work array for the first time derivative of y1

Returns:

first integration step

Throws:

MaxCountExceededException - if the number of functions evaluations is exceeded

filterStep

protected double filterStep(double h,
                            boolean forward,
                            boolean acceptSmall)
                     throws NumberIsTooSmallException

Filter the integration step.

Parameters:

h - signed step

forward - forward integration indicator

acceptSmall - if true, steps smaller than the minimal value are silently increased up to this value, if false such small steps generate an exception

Returns:

a bounded integration step (h if no bound is reach, or a bounded value)

Throws:

NumberIsTooSmallException - if the step is too small and acceptSmall is false

integrate

public abstract void integrate(ExpandableStatefulODE equations,
                               double t)
                        throws NumberIsTooSmallException,
                               DimensionMismatchException,
                               MaxCountExceededException,
                               NoBracketingException

Integrate a set of differential equations up to the given time.

This method solves an Initial Value Problem (IVP).

The set of differential equations is composed of a main set, which can be extended by some sets of secondary equations. The set of equations must be already set up with initial time and partial states. At integration completion, the final time and partial states will be available in the same object.

Since this method stores some internal state variables made available in its public interface during integration (AbstractIntegrator.getCurrentSignedStepsize()), it is not thread-safe.

Specified by:

integrate in class AbstractIntegrator

Parameters:

equations - complete set of differential equations to integrate

t - target time for the integration (can be set to a value smaller than t0 for backward integration)

Throws:

NumberIsTooSmallException - if integration step is too small

DimensionMismatchException - if the dimension of the complete state does not match the complete equations sets dimension

MaxCountExceededException - if the number of functions evaluations is exceeded

NoBracketingException - if the location of an event cannot be bracketed

getCurrentStepStart

public double getCurrentStepStart()

Get the current value of the step start time t_i.

This method can be called during integration (typically by the object implementing the differential equations problem) if the value of the current step that is attempted is needed.

The result is undefined if the method is called outside of calls to integrate.

Specified by:

getCurrentStepStart in interface ODEIntegrator

Overrides:

getCurrentStepStart in class AbstractIntegrator

Returns:

current value of the step start time t_i

resetInternalState

protected void resetInternalState()

Reset internal state to dummy values.

getMinStep

public double getMinStep()

Get the minimal step.

Returns:

minimal step

getMaxStep

public double getMaxStep()

Get the maximal step.

Returns:

maximal step
