3 Description

d02nmf is a general purpose routine for integrating the initial value problem for a stiff system of explicit ordinary differential equations,

y^{'} = g (t, y) .

An outline of a typical calling program is given below:

!     Declarations 

      Call linear algebra setup routine 
      Call integrator setup routine 
      irevcm=0 
 1000 Call d02nmf(neq, ldysav, t, tout, y, ydot, rwork, rtol,           &
      	          atol, itol, inform, ysave, sdysav, wkjac, nwkjac,     &

          evaluate the derivative                                   (iii)
        Else If(irevcm.eq.10) Then 
          indicates an unsuccessful step 
        Endif 
        Go To 1000 
      Endif 

!     post processing (optional linear algebra diagnostic call 
!     (sparse case only), optional integrator diagnostic call) 

      Stop 
      End

There are three major operations that may be required of the calling subroutine on an intermediate return (

irevcm \neq 0

) from d02nmf; these are denoted (i), (ii) and (iii).

The following sections describe in greater detail exactly what is required of each of these operations.

(i)Supply the Jacobian matrix
You need only provide this facility if the argument $jceval ='A'$ (or $jceval ='F'$ if using sparse matrix linear algebra) in a call to the linear algebra setup routine (see jceval in d02nsf). If the Jacobian matrix is to be evaluated numerically by the integrator, then the remainder of section (i) can be ignored.

We must define the system of nonlinear equations which is solved internally by the integrator. The time derivative, $y^{'}$ , has the form

$y^{'} = (y - z) / (h d),$

where $h$ is the current step size and $d$ is an argument that depends on the integration method in use. The vector $y$ is the current solution and the vector $z$ depends on information from previous time steps. This means that $\frac{d}{d y^{'}} ( ) = (h d) \frac{d}{d y} ( )$ .

The system of nonlinear equations that is solved has the form

$y^{'} - g (t, y) = 0$

but is solved in the form

$r (t, y) = 0,$

where the function $r$ is defined by

$r (t, y) = (h d) ((y - z) / (h d) - g (t, y)) .$

It is the Jacobian matrix $\frac{\partial r}{\partial y}$ that you must supply as follows:

$\begin{matrix} \frac{\partial r_{i}}{\partial y_{j}} = 1 - (h d) \frac{\partial g_{i}}{\partial y_{j}} & if i = j, \\ \frac{\partial r_{i}}{\partial y_{j}} = - (h d) \frac{\partial g_{i}}{\partial y_{j}} & otherwise, \end{matrix}$

where $t$ , $h$ and $d$ are located in $rwork (19)$ , $rwork (16)$ and $rwork (20)$ respectively and the array y contains the current values of the dependent variables. Only the nonzero elements of the Jacobian need be set, since the locations where it is to be stored are preset to zero.

Hereafter in this document this operation will be referred to as JAC.

(ii)Perform tasks requested by you

This operation is essentially a monitoring function and additionally provides the opportunity of changing the current values of y, HNEXT (the step size that the integrator proposes to take on the next step), HMIN (the minimum step size to be taken on the next step), and HMAX (the maximum step size to be taken on the next step). The scaled local error at the end of a timestep may be obtained by calling d02zaf as follows:

      ifail = 1
      errloc = d02zaf(neq,rwork(51+neq),rwork(51),ifail)
!     CHECK IFAIL BEFORE PROCEEDING

The following gives details of the location within the array rwork of variables that may be of interest to you:

Variable	Specification	Location
tcurr	the current value of the independent variable	$rwork (19)$
hlast	last step size successfully used by the integrator	$rwork (15)$
hnext	step size that the integrator proposes to take on the next step	$rwork (16)$
hmin	minimum step size to be taken on the next step	$rwork (17)$
hmax	maximum step size to be taken on the next step	$rwork (18)$
nqu	the order of the integrator used on the last step	$rwork (10)$

You are advised to consult the description of monitr in d02nbf for details on what optional input can be made.

If y is changed, then imon must be set to

2

before return to d02nmf. If either of the values of HMIN or HMAX are changed, then imon must be set

\geq 3

before return to d02nmf. If HNEXT is changed, then imon must be set to

4

before return to d02nmf.

In addition you can force d02nmf to evaluate the residual vector

y^{'} - g (t, y)

by setting

imon = 0

and

inln = 3

and then returning to d02nmf; on return to this monitoring operation the residual vector will be stored in

rwork (50 + 2 \times neq + i)

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, neq

Hereafter in this document this operation will be referred to as MONITR.

(iii)Evaluate the derivative
This operation must evaluate the derivative vector for the explicit ordinary differential equation system defined by

$y^{'} = g (t, y),$

where $t$ is located in $rwork (19)$ .

Hereafter in this document this operation will be referred to as FCN.

5 Arguments

Note: this routine uses reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the argument irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries, all arguments other than ydot, rwork, wkjac, imon, inln and ires must remain unchanged.

1: $neq$ – Integer Input

On initial entry: the number of differential equations to be solved.

Constraint:

neq \geq 1

2: $ldysav$ – Integer Input

On initial entry: an upper bound on the maximum number of differential equations to be solved during the integration.

Constraint:

ldysav \geq neq

3: $t$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input/Output

On initial entry:

t

, the value of the independent variable. The input value of t is used only on the first call as the initial point of the integration.

On final exit: the value at which the computed solution

y

is returned (usually at tout).

4: $tout$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

On initial entry: the next value of

t

, the input value of tout is used to determine the direction of integration. Integration is permitted in either direction (see also itask).

Constraint:

tout \neq t

5: $y (neq)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

On initial entry: the values of the dependent variables (solution). On the first call the first neq elements of

y

must contain the vector of initial values.

t = tout

6: $ydot (neq)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

On intermediate re-entry: must be set to the derivatives as defined under the description of irevcm.

On final exit: the time derivatives

y^{'}

of the vector

y

at the last integration point.

On initial entry: must be the same array as used by one of the method setup routines d02mvf, d02nvf or d02nwf, and by one of the storage setup routines d02ntf, d02nuf or d02nvf. The contents of rwork must not be changed between any call to a setup routine and the first call to d02nmf.

On intermediate re-entry: elements of rwork must be set to quantities as defined under the description of irevcm.

On intermediate exit: contains information for JAC, FCN and MONITR operations as described in Section 3 and the argument irevcm.

8: $rtol (*)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input

Note: the dimension of the array rtol must be at least

1

itol = 1

2

, and at least

neq

otherwise.

On initial entry: the relative local error tolerance.

Constraint:

rtol (i) \geq 0.0

for all relevant

i

(see itol).

Constraint:

atol (i) \geq 0.0

for all relevant

i

(see itol).

10: $itol$ – Integer Input

On initial entry: a value to indicate the form of the local error test. itol indicates to d02nmf whether to interpret either or both of rtol or atol as a vector or a scalar. The error test to be satisfied is

‖ e_{i} / w_{i} ‖ < 1.0

, where

w_{i}

is defined as follows:

itol	rtol	atol	$w_{i}$

4	vector	vector	$rtol (i) \times \| y_{i} \| + atol (i)$

e_{i}

is an estimate of the local error in

y_{i}

, computed internally, and the choice of norm to be used is defined by a previous call to an integrator setup routine.

11: $inform (23)$ – Integer array Communication Array

12: $ysav (ldysav, sdysav)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Communication Array

13: $sdysav$ – Integer Input

On initial entry: the second dimension of the array ysav as declared in the (sub)program from which d02nmf is called. An appropriate value for sdysav is described in the specifications of the integrator setup routines d02nvf and d02nwf. This value must be the same as that supplied to the integrator setup routine.

14: $wkjac (nwkjac)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

On intermediate exit: the Jacobian is overwritten.

15: $nwkjac$ – Integer Input

On initial entry: the dimension of the array wkjac as declared in the (sub)program from which d02nmf is called. The actual size depends on the linear algebra method used. An appropriate value for nwkjac is described in the specifications of the linear algebra setup routines d02nsf, d02ntf and d02nuf for full, banded and sparse matrix linear algebra respectively. This value must be the same as that supplied to the linear algebra setup routine.

16: $jacpvt (njcpvt)$ – Integer array Communication Array

17: $njcpvt$ – Integer Input

On initial entry: the dimension of the array jacpvt as declared in the (sub)program from which d02nmf is called. The actual size depends on the linear algebra method used. An appropriate value for njcpvt is described in the specifications of the linear algebra setup routines d02ntf and d02nuf for banded and sparse matrix linear algebra respectively. This value must be the same as that supplied to the linear algebra setup routine. When full matrix linear algebra is chosen, the array jacpvt is not used and hence njcpvt should be set to

1

18: $imon$ – Integer Input/Output

On intermediate exit: used to pass information between d02nmf and the MONITR operation (see Section 3). With

irevcm = 9

, imon contains a flag indicating under what circumstances the return from d02nmf occurred:

$imon = −2$: Exit from d02nmf after $ires = 4$ caused an early termination (this facility could be used to locate discontinuities).
$imon = −1$: The current step failed repeatedly.
$imon = 0$: Exit from d02nmf after a call to the internal nonlinear equation solver.
$imon = 1$: The current step was successful.

On intermediate re-entry: may be reset to determine subsequent action in d02nmf.

$imon = −2$: Integration is to be halted. A return will be made from d02nmf to the calling (sub)program with $ifail = 12$ .
$imon = −1$: Allow d02nmf to continue with its own internal strategy. The integrator will try up to three restarts unless $imon \neq −1$ .
$imon = 0$: Return to the internal nonlinear equation solver, where the action taken is determined by the value of inln.
$imon = 1$: Normal exit to d02nmf to continue integration.
$imon = 2$: Restart the integration at the current time point. The integrator will restart from order $1$ when this option is used. The solution y, provided by the monitr operation (see Section 3), will be used for the initial conditions.
$imon = 3$: Try to continue with the same step size and order as was to be used before entering the monitr operation (see Section 3). hmin and hmax may be altered if desired.
$imon = 4$: Continue the integration but using a new value of hnext and possibly new values of hmin and hmax.

19: $inln$ – Integer Input/Output

On intermediate re-entry: with

imon = 0

and

irevcm = 9

, inln specifies the action to be taken by the internal nonlinear equation solver. By setting

inln = 3

and returning to d02nmf, the residual vector is evaluated and placed in

rwork (50 + 2 \times neq + i)

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, neq

and then the monitr operation (see Section 3) is invoked again. At present this is the only option available: inln must not be set to any other value.

On intermediate exit: contains a flag indicating the action to be taken, if any, by the internal nonlinear equation solver.

20: $ires$ – Integer Input/Output

On intermediate exit: with

irevcm = 1

2

3

4

5

, ires contains the value

1

On intermediate re-entry: should be unchanged unless one of the following actions is required of d02nmf in which case ires should be set accordingly.

$ires = 2$: Indicates to d02nmf that control should be passed back immediately to the calling (sub)program with the error indicator set to $ifail = 11$ .
$ires = 3$: Indicates to d02nmf that an error condition has occurred in the solution vector, its time derivative or in the value of $t$ . The integrator will use a smaller time step to try to avoid this condition. If this is not possible d02nmf returns to the calling (sub)program with the error indicator set to $ifail = 7$ .
$ires = 4$: Indicates to d02nmf to stop its current operation and to enter the monitr operation (see Section 3) immediately.

21: $irevcm$ – Integer Input/Output

On initial entry: must contain

0

On intermediate re-entry: should remain unchanged.

On intermediate exit: indicates what action you must take before re-entering. The possible exit values of irevcm are

1

3

4

5

8

10

, which should be interpreted as follows:

$irevcm = 1$ , $3$ , $4$ and $5$

Indicates that an FCN operation (see Section 3) is required:

y^{'} = g (t, y)

must be supplied, where

y (i)

is located in

y_{i}

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, neq

For

irevcm = 1

3

y_{i}^{'}

should be placed in location

rwork (50 + 2 \times neq + i)

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, neq

For

irevcm = 4

y_{i}^{'}

should be placed in location

rwork (50 + neq + i)

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, neq

For

irevcm = 5

y_{i}^{'}

should be placed in location

ydot (i)

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, neq

$irevcm = 8$

Indicates that a JAC operation (see Section 3) is required: the Jacobian matrix must be supplied.

If full matrix linear algebra is being used, the

(i, j)

th element of the Jacobian must be stored in

wkjac ((j - 1) \times neq + i)

If banded matrix linear algebra is being used then the

(i, j)

th element of the Jacobian
must be stored in

wkjac ((i - 1) \times m_{B} + k)

, where

m_{B} = m_{L} + m_{U} + 1

and

k = \min (m_{L} - i + 1, 0) + j

; here

m_{L}

and

m_{U}

are the number of subdiagonals and superdiagonals, respectively, in the band.

If sparse matrix linear algebra is being used then d02nrf must be called to determine which column of the Jacobian is required and where it should be stored.

Call d02nrf(j, iplace, inform)

will return in j the number of the column of the Jacobian that is required and will set

iplace = 1

2

. If

iplace = 1

, the

(i, j)

th element of the Jacobian must be stored in

rwork (50 + 2 \times neq + i)

; otherwise it must be stored in

rwork (50 + neq + i)

$irevcm = 9$

Indicates that a MONITR operation (see Section 3) can be performed.

$irevcm = 10$

Indicates that the current step was not successful, due to error test failure or convergence test failure. The only information supplied to you on this return is the current value of the independent variable

t

, located in

rwork (19)

. No values must be changed before re-entering d02nmf; this facility enables you to determine the number of unsuccessful steps.

On final exit:

irevcm = 0

indicated the user-specified task has been completed or an error has been encountered (see the descriptions for itask and ifail).

Constraint:

irevcm = 0

Note: any values you return to d02nmf as part of the reverse communication procedure should not include floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by d02nmf. If your code does inadvertently return any NaNs or infinities, d02nmf is likely to produce unexpected results.

22: $itask$ – Integer Input

On initial entry: the task to be performed by the integrator.

$itask = 1$: Normal computation of output values of $y (t)$ at $t = tout$ (by overshooting and interpolating).
$itask = 2$: Take one step only and return.
$itask = 3$: Stop at the first internal integration point at or beyond $t = tout$ and return.
$itask = 4$: Normal computation of output values of $y (t)$ at $t = tout$ but without overshooting $t = tcrit$ . tcrit must be specified as an option in one of the integrator setup routines before the first call to the integrator, or specified in the optional input routine before a continuation call. tcrit (e.g., see d02nvf) may be equal to or beyond tout, but not before it in the direction of integration.
$itask = 5$: Take one step only and return, without passing tcrit (e.g., see d02nvf). tcrit must be specified under $itask = 4$ .

Constraint:

1 \leq itask \leq 5

23: $itrace$ – Integer Input

On initial entry: the level of output that is printed by the integrator. itrace may take the value

−1

0

1

2

3

$itrace < −1$: $−1$ is assumed and similarly if $itrace > 3$ , $3$ is assumed.
$itrace = −1$: No output is generated.
$itrace = 0$: Only warning messages are printed on the current error message unit (see x04aaf).
$itrace > 0$: Warning messages are printed as above, and on the current advisory message unit (see x04abf) output is generated which details Jacobian entries, the nonlinear iteration and the time integration. The advisory messages are given in greater detail the larger the value of itrace.

24: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output

On initial entry: ifail must be set to

0

−1

1

to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.

A value of

0

causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of

−1

means that an error message is printed while a value of

1

means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value

−1

1

is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value

1

is recommended. Otherwise, the value

−1

is recommended since useful values can be provided in some output arguments even when

ifail \neq 0

on exit. When the value $- 1$ or $1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On final exit:

ifail = 0

unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry

ifail = 0

−1

, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).

$ifail = 6$: At time $⟨ value ⟩$ , error weight $⟨ value ⟩$ became zero. Check the values of atol, rtol and itol supplied.

$ifail = 7$: The derivative evaluation procedure set the error flag $ires = 3$ repeatedly despite attempts by the integrator to avoid this.

$ifail = 9$: A singular Jacobian has been encountered. You should check the problem formulation and Jacobian calculation.

Workspace error occurred when trying to form the Jacobian matrix in calculating the initial values of the solution and its time derivative.

$ifail = 11$: On re-entry, $ires = 2$ , which signals that the integration should terminate. $ires = ⟨ value ⟩$ at time $⟨ value ⟩$ .

$ifail = 12$: A return was forced by setting $imon = −2$ , but the integration was successful as far as t.

$ifail = 13$: The requested task has been completed, but it is estimated that a small change in rtol and atol is unlikely to produce any change in the computed solution. (This ONLY applies when you are NOT operating in one step mode; that is, when $itask \neq 2$ or $5$ .)

$ifail = 14$: On entry, too much accuracy requested for precision of the machine at the start of problem. The tolerances should be checked; the requested accuracy should be reduced by a factor of at least $⟨ value ⟩$ .

$ifail = - 99$: An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

$ifail = - 399$: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.

7 Accuracy

The accuracy of the numerical solution may be controlled by a careful choice of the arguments rtol and atol, and to a much lesser extent by the choice of norm. You are advised to use scalar error control unless the components of the solution are expected to be poorly scaled. For the type of decaying solution typical of many stiff problems, relative error control with a small absolute error threshold will be most appropriate (that is, you are advised to choose

itol = 1

with

atol (1)

small but positive).

8 Parallelism and Performance

d02nmf is not thread safe and should not be called from a multithreaded user program. Please see Section 1 in FL Interface Multithreading for more information on thread safety.

d02nmf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

d02nmf 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.

9 Further Comments

The cost of computing a solution depends critically on the size of the differential system and to a lesser extent on the degree of stiffness of the problem; also on the type of linear algebra being used. For further details see Section 9 of the documents for d02nbf (full matrix), d02ncf (banded matrix) or d02ndf (sparse matrix).

In general, you are advised to choose the backward differentiation formula option (setup routine d02nvf) but if efficiency is of great importance and especially if it is suspected that

\frac{\partial g}{\partial y}

has complex eigenvalues near the imaginary axis for some part of the integration, you should try the BLEND option (setup routine d02nwf).

10 Example

This example solves the well-known stiff Robertson problem

\begin{matrix} a^{'} & = & - 0.04 a + 1.0E4 b c \\ b^{'} & = & 0.04 a - 1.0E4 b c - 3.0E7 b^{2} \\ c^{'} & = & 3.0E7 b^{2} \end{matrix}

over the range

[0, 10]

with initial conditions

a = 1.0

and

b = c = 0.0

and with scalar error control (

itol = 1

). The integration proceeds until

tout = 10.0

is passed, providing

C^{1}

interpolation at intervals of

2.0

through a MONITR operation. The integration method used is the BDF method (setup routine d02nvf) with a modified Newton method. The Jacobian is a full matrix, which is specified using the setup routine d02nsf; this Jacobian is to be calculated numerically.
