d02prf and its associated routines (d02pff, d02pgf, d02phf, d02pjf, d02pqf, d02psf, d02ptf and d02puf) solve the initial value problem for a first-order system of ordinary differential equations. The routines, based on Runge–Kutta methods and derived from RKSUITE (see Brankin et al. (1991)), integrate

y^{'} = f (t, y) given y (t_{0}) = y_{0}

where

y

is the vector of

n

solution components and

t

is the independent variable.

d02prf is used to reset the final value of the independent variable,

t_{f}

, 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 d02pff or d02pgf) in the current direction of integration. It is much more efficient to use d02prf for this purpose than to use d02pqf 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 d02pqf.

5 Arguments

1: $tendnu$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input: On entry: the new value for $t_{f}$ .

Constraint: $sign (tendnu - tnow) = sign (tend - tstart)$ , where tstart and tend are as supplied in the previous call to d02pqf and tnow is returned by the preceding call to d02pff or d02pgf (i.e., integration must proceed in the same direction as before). tendnu must be distinguishable from tnow for the method and the machine precision being used.
2: $iwsav (130)$ – Integer array Communication Array
3: $rwsav (350)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Communication Array: Note: the communication array rwsav used by the other routines in the suite must be used here however, only the first $350$ elements will be referenced.

On entry: these must be the same arrays supplied in a previous call to d02pff or d02pgf. They must remain unchanged between calls.

On exit: information about the integration for use on subsequent calls to d02pff or d02pgf or other associated routines.
4: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output: On entry: ifail must be set to $0$ , $−1$ or $1$ 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 $−1$ or $1$ is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, the value $0$ is recommended. When the value $- 1$ or $1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On 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).

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$ifail = 1$: On entry, a previous call to the setup routine has not been made or the communication arrays have become corrupted, or a catastrophic error has already been detected elsewhere. You cannot continue integrating the problem.

On entry, tendnu is not beyond tnow (step integrator) in the direction of integration.
The direction is negative, $tendnu = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $tnow = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

On entry, tendnu is not beyond tnow (step integrator) in the direction of integration.
The direction is positive, $tendnu = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $tnow = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

On entry, tendnu is too close to tnow (step integrator). Their difference is $⟨ value ⟩$ , but this quantity must be at least $⟨ value ⟩$ .

You cannot call this routine after the integrator has returned an error.

You cannot call this routine before you have called the setup routine.

You cannot call this routine before you have called the step integrator.

You cannot call this routine when the range integrator has been used.

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

10 Example

This example integrates a two body problem. The equations for the coordinates

(x (t), y (t))

of one body as functions of time

t

in a suitable frame of reference are

x^{''} = - \frac{x}{r^{3}}

y^{''} = - \frac{y}{r^{3}}, r = \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} .

The initial conditions

\begin{array}{l} x (0) = 1 - ε, & x^{'} (0) = 0 \\ y (0) = 0, & y^{'} (0) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + ε}{1 - ε}} \end{array}

lead to elliptic motion with

0 < ε < 1

ε = 0.7

is selected and the system of ODEs is reposed as

\begin{array}{l} y_{1}^{'} = y_{3} \\ y_{2}^{'} = y_{4} \\ y_{3}^{'} = - \frac{y_{1}}{r^{3}} \\ y_{4}^{'} = - \frac{y_{2}}{r^{3}} \end{array}

over the range

[0, 6 π]

. Relative error control is used with threshold values of

1.0E−10

for each solution component and compute the solution at intervals of length

π

across the range using d02prf to reset the end of the integration range. A high-order Runge–Kutta method (

method = −3

) is also used with tolerances

tol = 1.0E−4

and

tol = 1.0E−5

in turn so that the solutions may be compared.
