d02prc resets the end point in an integration performed by
d02pfc and
d02pgc.
d02prc and its associated functions (
d02pfc,
d02pgc,
d02phc,
d02pjc,
d02pqc,
d02psc,
d02ptc and
d02puc) solve the initial value problem for a first-order system of ordinary differential equations. The functions, based on Runge–Kutta methods and derived from RKSUITE (see
Brankin et al. (1991)), integrate
where
is the vector of
solution components and
is the independent variable.
d02prc is used to reset the final value of the independent variable,
, when the integration is already underway. It can be used to extend or reduce the range of integration. The new value must be beyond the current value of the independent variable (as returned in
tnow by
d02pfc or
d02pgc) in the current direction of integration. It is much more efficient to use
d02prc for this purpose than to use
d02pqc which involves the overhead of a complete restart of the integration.
If you want to change the direction of integration then you must restart by a call to
d02pqc.

d02prc to reset the end of the integration range. A high-order Runge–Kutta method (

in turn so that the solutions may be compared.
