Description
d02tlf and its associated routines (
d02tvf,
d02txf,
d02tyf and
d02tzf) solve the two-point boundary value problem for a nonlinear mixed order system of ordinary differential equations
over an interval
subject to
(
) nonlinear boundary conditions at
and
(
) nonlinear boundary conditions at
, where
. Note that
is the
th derivative of the
th solution component. Hence
. The left boundary conditions at
are defined as
and the right boundary conditions at
as
where
and
First,
d02tvf must be called to specify the initial mesh, error requirements and other details. Note that the error requirements apply only to the solution components
and that no error control is applied to derivatives of solution components. (If error control is required on derivatives then the system must be reduced in order by introducing the derivatives whose error is to be controlled as new variables. See
Section 9 in
d02tvf.) Then,
d02tlf can be used to solve the boundary value problem. After successful computation,
d02tzf can be used to ascertain details about the final mesh and other details of the solution procedure, and
d02tyf can be used to compute the approximate solution anywhere on the interval
.
A description of the numerical technique used in
d02tlf is given in
Section 3 in
d02tvf.
d02tlf can also be used in the solution of a series of problems, for example in performing continuation, when the mesh used to compute the solution of one problem is to be used as the initial mesh for the solution of the next related problem.
d02txf should be used in between calls to
d02tlf in this context.
See
Section 9 in
d02tvf for details of how to solve boundary value problems of a more general nature.
The routines are based on modified versions of the codes COLSYS and COLNEW (see
Ascher et al. (1979) and
Ascher and Bader (1987)). A comprehensive treatment of the numerical solution of boundary value problems can be found in
Ascher et al. (1988) and
Keller (1992).

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, because for this routine the values of the output arguments may be useful even if
on exit, 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).

Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry
or
, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by
x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
Note: in some cases d02tlf may return useful information.
-
Either the setup routine has not been called or the communication arrays have become corrupted. No solution will be computed.
-
Numerical singularity has been detected in the Jacobian used in the Newton iteration.
No results have been generated. Check the coding of the routines for calculating the Jacobians of system and boundary conditions.
-
All Newton iterations that have been attempted have failed to converge.
No results have been generated. Check the coding of the routines for calculating the Jacobians of system and boundary conditions.
Try to provide a better initial solution approximation.
-
A Newton iteration has failed to converge. The computation has not succeeded but results have been returned for an intermediate mesh on which convergence was achieved.
These results should be treated with extreme caution.
-
The expected number of sub-intervals required to continue the computation exceeds the maximum specified: .
Results have been generated which may be useful.
Try increasing this number or relaxing the error requirements.
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please

Accuracy
The accuracy of the solution is determined by the argument
tols in the prior call to
d02tvf (see
Sections 3 and
9 in
d02tvf for details and advice). Note that error control is applied only to solution components (variables) and not to any derivatives of the solution. An estimate of the maximum error in the computed solution is available by calling
d02tzf.
8
Parallelism and Performance
d02tlf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
d02tlf makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.
Please consult the
X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the
Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.
If d02tlf returns with , , or and the call to d02tlf was a part of some continuation procedure for which successful calls to d02tlf have already been made, then it is possible that the adjustment(s) to the continuation parameter(s) between calls to d02tlf is (are) too large for the problem under consideration. More conservative adjustment(s) to the continuation parameter(s) might be appropriate.
10
Example
The following example is used to illustrate the treatment of a high-order system, control of the error in a derivative of a component of the original system, and the use of continuation. See also
d02tvf,
d02txf,
d02tyf and
d02tzf, for the illustration of other facilities.
Consider the steady flow of an incompressible viscous fluid between two infinite coaxial rotating discs. See
Ascher et al. (1979) and the references therein. The governing equations are
subject to the boundary conditions
where
is the Reynolds number and
are the angular velocities of the disks.
We consider the case of counter-rotation and a symmetric solution, that is
. This problem is more difficult to solve, the larger the value of
. For illustration, we use simple continuation to compute the solution for three different values of
(
). However, this problem can be addressed directly for the largest value of
considered here. Instead of the values suggested in
Section 5 in
d02txf for
nmesh,
ipmesh and
mesh in the call to
d02txf prior to a continuation call, we use every point of the final mesh for the solution of the first value of
, that is we must modify the contents of
ipmesh. For illustrative purposes we wish to control the computed error in
and so recast the equations as
subject to the boundary conditions
For the symmetric boundary conditions considered, there exists an odd solution about
. Hence, to satisfy the boundary conditions, we use the following initial approximations to the solution in
