D03PHF/D03PHA
1 Purpose
D03PHF/D03PHA integrates a system of linear or nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) in one space variable, with scope for coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The spatial discretization is performed using finite differences, and the method of lines is employed to reduce the PDEs to a system of ODEs. The resulting system is solved using a backward differentiation formula method or a Theta method (switching between Newton's method and functional iteration).
D03PHA is a version of D03PHF that has additional parameters in order to make it safe for use in multithreaded applications (see
Section 5).

3 Description
D03PHF/D03PHA integrates the system of parabolic-elliptic equations and coupled ODEs
where
(1) defines the PDE part and
(2) generalizes the coupled ODE part of the problem.
In
(1),
and
depend on
,
,
,
and
;
depends on
,
,
,
,
and
linearly on
. The vector
is the set of PDE solution values
and the vector
is the partial derivative with respect to
. The vector
is the set of ODE solution values
and
denotes its derivative with respect to time.
In
(2),
represents a vector of
spatial coupling points at which the ODEs are coupled to the PDEs. These points may or may not be equal to some of the PDE spatial mesh points.
,
,
,
and
are the functions
,
,
,
and
evaluated at these coupling points. Each
may only depend linearly on time derivatives. Hence the equation
(2) may be written more precisely as
where
,
is a vector of length
NCODE,
is an
NCODE by
NCODE matrix,
is an
NCODE by
matrix and the entries in
,
and
may depend on
,
,
,
and
. In practice you only need to supply a vector of information to define the ODEs and not the matrices
and
. (See
Section 5 for the specification of
ODEDEF.)
The integration in time is from to , over the space interval , where and are the leftmost and rightmost points of a user-defined mesh . The coordinate system in space is defined by the values of ; for Cartesian coordinates, for cylindrical polar coordinates and for spherical polar coordinates.
The PDE system which is defined by the functions
,
and
must be specified in
PDEDEF.
The initial values of the functions and must be given at .
The functions
which may be thought of as fluxes, are also used in the definition of the boundary conditions. The boundary conditions must have the form
where
or
.
The boundary conditions must be specified in
BNDARY. The function
may depend
linearly on
.
The problem is subject to the following restrictions:
(i) |
In (1), , for , may only appear linearly in the functions
, for , with a similar restriction for ; |
(ii) |
and the flux must not depend on any time derivatives; |
(iii) |
, so that integration is in the forward direction; |
(iv) |
the evaluation of the terms , and is done approximately at the mid-points of the mesh , for , by calling the PDEDEF for each mid-point in turn. Any discontinuities in these functions must therefore be at one or more of the mesh points ; |
(v) |
at least one of the functions must be nonzero so that there is a time derivative present in the PDE problem; |
(vi) |
if and , which is the left boundary point, then it must be ensured that the PDE solution is bounded at this point. This can be done by either specifying the solution at or by specifying a zero flux there, that is and . See also Section 8 below. |
The algebraic-differential equation system which is defined by the functions
must be specified in
ODEDEF. You must also specify the coupling points
in the array
XI.
The parabolic equations are approximated by a system of ODEs in time for the values of at mesh points. For simple problems in Cartesian coordinates, this system is obtained by replacing the space derivatives by the usual central, three-point finite difference formula. However, for polar and spherical problems, or problems with nonlinear coefficients, the space derivatives are replaced by a modified three-point formula which maintains second order accuracy. In total there are ODEs in the time direction. This system is then integrated forwards in time using a backward differentiation formula (BDF) or a Theta method.

- 26: ITRACE – INTEGERInput
On entry: the level of trace information required from D03PHF/D03PHA and the underlying ODE solver.
ITRACE may take the value

,
or
.
- No output is generated.
- Only warning messages from the PDE solver are printed on the current error message unit (see X04AAF).
- Output from the underlying ODE solver is printed on the current advisory message unit (see X04ABF). This output contains details of Jacobian entries, the nonlinear iteration and the time integration during the computation of the ODE system.
If , then is assumed and similarly if , then is assumed.
The advisory messages are given in greater detail as
ITRACE increases. You are advised to set
, unless you are experienced with
sub-chapter D02M–N.
- 27: IND – INTEGERInput/Output
On entry: indicates whether this is a continuation call or a new integration.
- Starts or restarts the integration in time.
- Continues the integration after an earlier exit from the routine. In this case, only the parameters TOUT and IFAIL should be reset between calls to D03PHF/D03PHA.
Constraint:

On exit: .
- 28: IFAIL – INTEGERInput/Output
-
Note: for D03PHA, IFAIL does not occur in this position in the parameter list. See the additional parameters described below.
On entry:
IFAIL must be set to
,
. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to
Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).
- Note: the following are additional parameters for specific use with D03PHA. Users of D03PHF therefore need not read the remainder of this description.
- 28: IUSER() – INTEGER arrayUser Workspace
- 29: RUSER() – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayUser Workspace
-
IUSER and
RUSER are not used by D03PHF/D03PHA, but are passed directly to
PDEDEF,
BNDARY and
ODEDEF and may be used to pass information to these routines as an alternative to using COMMON global variables.

Note: see the parameter description for
IFAIL above.
6 Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry

or | NCODE and NXI are incorrectly defined, |
or | , |
or | either an element of RTOL or , |
or | all the elements of RTOL and ATOL are zero. |

The underlying ODE solver cannot make any further progress, with the values of
ATOL and
RTOL, across the integration range from the current point
. The components of
U contain the computed values at the current point
.
-
In the underlying ODE solver, there were repeated error test failures on an attempted step, before completing the requested task, but the integration was successful as far as . The problem may have a singularity, or the error requirement may be inappropriate.
-
In setting up the ODE system, the internal initialization routine was unable to initialize the derivative of the ODE system. This could be due to the fact that
IRES was repeatedly set to
in at least
PDEDEF,
BNDARY or
ODEDEF, when the residual in the underlying ODE solver was being evaluated.
-
In solving the ODE system, a singular Jacobian has been encountered. You should check your problem formulation.
-
When evaluating the residual in solving the ODE system,
IRES was set to
in at least
PDEDEF,
BNDARY or
ODEDEF. Integration was successful as far as
.
-
The values of
ATOL and
RTOL are so small that the routine is unable to start the integration in time.
-
In one of
PDEDEF,
BNDARY or
ODEDEF,
IRES was set to an invalid value.
- (D02NNF)
-
A serious error has occurred in an internal call to the specified routine. Check the problem specification and all parameters and array dimensions. Setting
may provide more information. If the problem persists, contact
NAG.
-
The required task has been completed, but it is estimated that a small change in
ATOL and
RTOL is unlikely to produce any change in the computed solution. (Only applies when you are not operating in one step mode, that is when
or
.)
-
An error occurred during Jacobian formulation of the ODE system (a more detailed error description may be directed to the current error message unit). If using the sparse matrix algebra option, the values of and may be inappropriate.
-
In solving the ODE system, the maximum number of steps specified in have been taken.
-
Some error weights
became zero during the time integration (see the description of
ITOL). Pure relative error control (
) was requested on a variable (the
th) which has become zero. The integration was successful as far as
.
-
The flux function was detected as depending on time derivatives, which is not permissible.
-
When using the sparse option, the value of
LISAVE or
LRSAVE was not sufficient (more detailed information may be directed to the current error message unit).
7 Accuracy
D03PHF/D03PHA controls the accuracy of the integration in the time direction but not the accuracy of the approximation in space. The spatial accuracy depends on both the number of mesh points and on their distribution in space. In the time integration only the local error over a single step is controlled and so the accuracy over a number of steps cannot be guaranteed. You should therefore test the effect of varying the accuracy parameters
ATOL and
RTOL.
The parameter specification allows you to include equations with only first-order derivatives in the space direction but there is no guarantee that the method of integration will be satisfactory for such systems. The position and nature of the boundary conditions in particular are critical in defining a stable problem. It may be advisable in such cases to reduce the whole system to first-order and to use the Keller box scheme routine
D03PKF.
The time taken depends on the complexity of the parabolic system and on the accuracy requested. For a given system and a fixed accuracy it is approximately proportional to
NEQN.
