The specification of pdedef is:

void  pdedef (Integer npde, double t, double x, const double u[], const double ux[], double p[], double q[], double r[], Integer *ires, Nag_Comm *comm)

1: $\mathbf{npde}$ – Integer Input

Note: the $\left(i,j\right)$th element of the matrix $P$ is stored in $\mathbf{p}\left[\left(j-1\right)\times \mathbf{npde}+i-1\right]$.

On exit: $\mathbf{p}\left[\left(\mathit{j}-1\right)\times \mathbf{npde}+\mathit{i}-1\right]$ must be set to the value of $P_{\mathit{i},\mathit{j}}\left(x,t,U,U_x\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{npde}$ and $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{npde}$.

$\mathbf{ires}=3$

Indicates to the integrator that the current time step should be abandoned and a smaller time step used instead. You may wish to set $\mathbf{ires}=3$ when a physically meaningless input or output value has been generated. If you consecutively set $\mathbf{ires}=3$, d03pcc returns to the calling function with the error indicator set to $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_FAILED_DERIV.

10: $\mathbf{comm}$ – Nag_Comm *

Pointer to structure of type Nag_Comm; the following members are relevant to pdedef.

The type Pointer will be void *. Before calling d03pcc you may allocate memory and initialize these pointers with various quantities for use by pdedef when called from d03pcc (see Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

Note: pdedef should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by d03pcc. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, d03pcc is likely to produce unexpected results.

$\mathbf{ires}=3$

Indicates to the integrator that the current time step should be abandoned and a smaller time step used instead. You may wish to set $\mathbf{ires}=3$ when a physically meaningless input or output value has been generated. If you consecutively set $\mathbf{ires}=3$, d03pcc returns to the calling function with the error indicator set to $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_FAILED_DERIV.

9: $\mathbf{comm}$ – Nag_Comm *

Pointer to structure of type Nag_Comm; the following members are relevant to bndary.

user – double *

iuser – Integer *

Note: bndary should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by d03pcc. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, d03pcc is likely to produce unexpected results.

$\mathbf{isave}\left[0\right]$

Contains the number of steps taken in time.

$\mathbf{isave}\left[1\right]$

Contains the number of residual evaluations of the resulting ODE system used. One such evaluation involves computing the PDE functions at all the mesh points, as well as one evaluation of the functions in the boundary conditions.

Contains the number of Jacobian evaluations performed by the time integrator.

$\mathbf{isave}\left[3\right]$

Contains the order of the last backward differentiation formula method used.

$\mathbf{isave}\left[4\right]$

$\mathbf{itrace}=-1$

No output is generated.

$\mathbf{itrace}=0$

Only warning messages from the PDE solver are printed.

$\mathbf{itrace}>0$

Output from the underlying ODE solver is printed. This output contains details of Jacobian entries, the nonlinear iteration and the time integration during the computation of the ODE system.

If $\mathbf{itrace}<-1$, $-1$ is assumed and similarly if $\mathbf{itrace}>3$, $3$ is assumed.

The advisory messages are given in greater detail as itrace increases.

17: $\mathbf{outfile}$ – const char * Input

On entry: the name of a file to which diagnostic output will be directed. If outfile is NULL the diagnostic output will be directed to standard output.

18: $\mathbf{ind}$ – Integer * Input/Output

On entry: indicates whether this is a continuation call or a new integration.

$\mathbf{ind}=0$

Starts or restarts the integration in time.

$\mathbf{ind}=1$

Continues the integration after an earlier exit from the function. In this case, only the argument tout should be reset between calls to d03pcc.

Constraint: $\mathbf{ind}=0$ or $1$.

On exit: $\mathbf{ind}=1$.

19: $\mathbf{comm}$ – Nag_Comm *

The NAG communication argument (see Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).
