If functional iteration is selected and the integrator encounters difficulty, there is an automatic switch to the modified Newton iteration. The default value is $\mathbf{algopt}\left[2\right]=1.0$.

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

Specifies whether or not the Petzold error test is to be employed. The Petzold error test results in extra overhead but is more suitable when algebraic equations are present, such as $P_{i,\mathit{j}}=0.0$, for $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{npde}$, for some $i$ or when there is no ${\stackrel{.}{V}}_i\left(t\right)$ dependence in the coupled ODE system. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[3\right]=1.0$, the Petzold test is used. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[3\right]=2.0$, the Petzold test is not used. The default value is $\mathbf{algopt}\left[3\right]=1.0$.

If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[0\right]=1.0$, $\mathbf{algopt}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=5,6,7$, are not used.

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

Specifies the value of Theta to be used in the Theta integration method. $0.51\le \mathbf{algopt}\left[4\right]\le 0.99$. The default value is $\mathbf{algopt}\left[4\right]=0.55$.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[5\right]$

Specifies what method is to be used to solve the system of nonlinear equations arising on each step of the Theta method. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[5\right]=1.0$, a modified Newton iteration is used and if $\mathbf{algopt}\left[5\right]=2.0$, a functional iteration method is used. The default value is $\mathbf{algopt}\left[5\right]=1.0$.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[6\right]$

Specifies whether or not the integrator is allowed to switch automatically between modified Newton and functional iteration methods in order to be more efficient. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[6\right]=1.0$, switching is allowed and if $\mathbf{algopt}\left[6\right]=2.0$, switching is not allowed. The default value is $\mathbf{algopt}\left[6\right]=1.0$.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[10\right]$

Specifies a point in the time direction, $t_{\mathrm{crit}}$, beyond which integration must not be attempted. The use of $t_{\mathrm{crit}}$ is described under the argument itask. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[0\right]\ne 0.0$, a value of $0.0$, for $\mathbf{algopt}\left[10\right]$, say, should be specified even if itask subsequently specifies that $t_{\mathrm{crit}}$ will not be used.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[11\right]$

Specifies the minimum absolute step size to be allowed in the time integration. If this option is not required, $\mathbf{algopt}\left[11\right]$ should be set to $0.0$.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[12\right]$

Specifies the maximum absolute step size to be allowed in the time integration. If this option is not required, $\mathbf{algopt}\left[12\right]$ should be set to $0.0$.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[13\right]$

Specifies the initial step size to be attempted by the integrator. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[13\right]=0.0$, the initial step size is calculated internally.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[14\right]$

Specifies the maximum number of steps to be attempted by the integrator in any one call. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[14\right]=0.0$, no limit is imposed.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[22\right]$

Specifies what method is to be used to solve the nonlinear equations at the initial point to initialize the values of $U$, $U_t$, $V$ and $\stackrel{.}{V}$. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[22\right]=1.0$, a modified Newton iteration is used and if $\mathbf{algopt}\left[22\right]=2.0$, functional iteration is used. The default value is $\mathbf{algopt}\left[22\right]=1.0$.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[28\right]$ and $\mathbf{algopt}\left[29\right]$ are used only for the sparse matrix algebra option, i.e., $\mathbf{laopt}=\mathrm{Nag\_LinAlgSparse}$.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[28\right]$

Governs the choice of pivots during the decomposition of the first Jacobian matrix. It should lie in the range $0.0<\mathbf{algopt}\left[28\right]<1.0$, with smaller values biasing the algorithm towards maintaining sparsity at the expense of numerical stability. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[28\right]$ lies outside this range then the default value is used. If the functions regard the Jacobian matrix as numerically singular then increasing $\mathbf{algopt}\left[28\right]$ towards $1.0$ may help, but at the cost of increased fill-in. The default value is $\mathbf{algopt}\left[28\right]=0.1$.

$\mathbf{algopt}\left[29\right]$

Used as a relative pivot threshold during subsequent Jacobian decompositions (see $\mathbf{algopt}\left[28\right]$) below which an internal error is invoked. $\mathbf{algopt}\left[29\right]$ must be greater than zero, otherwise the default value is used. If $\mathbf{algopt}\left[29\right]$ is greater than $1.0$ no check is made on the pivot size, and this may be a necessary option if the Jacobian is found to be numerically singular (see $\mathbf{algopt}\left[28\right]$). The default value is $\mathbf{algopt}\left[29\right]=0.0001$.

22: $\mathbf{remesh}$ – Nag_Boolean Input

On entry: indicates whether or not spatial remeshing should be performed.

$\mathbf{remesh}=\mathrm{Nag\_TRUE}$

Indicates that spatial remeshing should be performed as specified.

$\mathbf{remesh}=\mathrm{Nag\_FALSE}$

Indicates that spatial remeshing should be suppressed.

Note: remesh should not be changed between consecutive calls to d03prc. Remeshing can be switched off or on at specified times by using appropriate values for the arguments nrmesh and trmesh at each call.

23: $\mathbf{nxfix}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of fixed mesh points.

Constraint: $0\le \mathbf{nxfix}\le \mathbf{npts}-2$.

Note: the end points $\mathbf{x}\left[0\right]$ and $\mathbf{x}\left[\mathbf{npts}-1\right]$ are fixed automatically and hence should not be specified as fixed points.

24: $\mathbf{xfix}\left[\mathbf{nxfix}\right]$ – const double Input

On entry: $\mathbf{xfix}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{nxfix}$, must contain the value of the $x$ coordinate at the $\mathit{i}$th fixed mesh point.

Constraint: $\mathbf{xfix}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]<\mathbf{xfix}\left[\mathit{i}\right]$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{nxfix}-1$, and each fixed mesh point must coincide with a user-supplied initial mesh point, that is $\mathbf{xfix}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]=\mathbf{x}\left[\mathit{j}-1\right]$ for some $j$, $2\le j\le \mathbf{npts}-1$.

Note: the positions of the fixed mesh points in the array $\mathbf{x}$ remain fixed during remeshing, and so the number of mesh points between adjacent fixed points (or between fixed points and end points) does not change. You should take this into account when choosing the initial mesh distribution.

25: $\mathbf{nrmesh}$ – Integer Input

On entry: indicates the form of meshing to be performed.

$\mathbf{nrmesh}<0$

Indicates that a new mesh is adopted according to the argument dxmesh. The mesh is tested every $\left|\mathbf{nrmesh}\right|$ timesteps.

$\mathbf{nrmesh}=0$

Indicates that remeshing should take place just once at the end of the first time step reached when $t>\mathbf{trmesh}$.

$\mathbf{nrmesh}>0$

Indicates that remeshing will take place every nrmesh time steps, with no testing using dxmesh.

Note: nrmesh may be changed between consecutive calls to d03prc to give greater flexibility over the times of remeshing.

26: $\mathbf{dxmesh}$ – double Input

On entry: determines whether a new mesh is adopted when nrmesh is set less than zero. A possible new mesh is calculated at the end of every $\left|\mathbf{nrmesh}\right|$ time steps, but is adopted only if

$$x_i^{\mathrm{new}}>x_i^{\mathrm{old}}+\mathbf{dxmesh}\times (x_{i+1}^{\mathrm{old}}-x_i^{\mathrm{old}})\text{,}$$

or

$$x_i^{\mathrm{new}}<x_i^{\mathrm{old}}-\mathbf{dxmesh}\times (x_i^{\mathrm{old}}-x_{i-1}^{\mathrm{old}})\text{.}$$

dxmesh thus imposes a lower limit on the difference between one mesh and the next.

Constraint: $\mathbf{dxmesh}\ge 0.0$.

27: $\mathbf{trmesh}$ – double Input

On entry: specifies when remeshing will take place when nrmesh is set to zero. Remeshing will occur just once at the end of the first time step reached when $t$ is greater than trmesh.

Note: trmesh may be changed between consecutive calls to d03prc to force remeshing at several specified times.

28: $\mathbf{ipminf}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the level of trace information regarding the adaptive remeshing.

$\mathbf{ipminf}=0$

No trace information.

$\mathbf{ipminf}=1$

Brief summary of mesh characteristics.

$\mathbf{ipminf}=2$

More detailed information, including old and new mesh points, mesh sizes and monitor function values.

Constraint: $\mathbf{ipminf}=0$, $1$ or $2$.

29: $\mathbf{xratio}$ – double Input

On entry: an input bound on the adjacent mesh ratio (greater than $1.0$ and typically in the range $1.5$ to $3.0$). The remeshing functions will attempt to ensure that

$$(x_i-x_{i-1})/\mathbf{xratio}<x_{i+1}-x_i<\mathbf{xratio}\times (x_i-x_{i-1})\text{.}$$

Suggested value: $\mathbf{xratio}=1.5$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{xratio}>1.0$.

30: $\mathbf{con}$ – double Input

On entry: an input bound on the sub-integral of the monitor function $F^{\mathrm{mon}}\left(x\right)$ over each space step. The remeshing functions will attempt to ensure that

$$\underset{x_1}{\overset{x_{i+1}}{\int }}{F}^{\mathrm{mon}}\left(x\right)dx\le \mathbf{con}\underset{x_1}{\overset{x_{\mathbf{npts}}}{\int }}{F}^{\mathrm{mon}}\left(x\right)dx\text{,}$$

(see Furzeland (1984)). con gives you more control over the mesh distribution e.g., decreasing con allows more clustering. A typical value is $2/(\mathbf{npts}-1)$, but you are encouraged to experiment with different values. Its value is not critical and the mesh should be qualitatively correct for all values in the range given below.

Suggested value: $\mathbf{con}=2.0/(\mathbf{npts}-1)$.

Constraint: $0.1/(\mathbf{npts}-1)\le \mathbf{con}\le 10.0/(\mathbf{npts}-1)$.

31: $\mathbf{monitf}$ – function, supplied by the user External Function

monitf must supply and evaluate a remesh monitor function to indicate the solution behaviour of interest.

If $\mathbf{nv}=0$, monitf will never be called and the NAG defined null void function pointer, NULLFN, can be supplied in the call to d03prc.

The specification of monitf is:

copy

void  monitf (double t, Integer npts, Integer npde, const double x[], const double u[], double fmon[], Nag_Comm *comm)

1: $\mathbf{t}$ – double Input

On entry: the current value of the independent variable $t$.

2: $\mathbf{npts}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of mesh points in the interval $[a,b]$.

3: $\mathbf{npde}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of PDEs in the system.

4: $\mathbf{x}\left[\mathbf{npts}\right]$ – const double Input

On entry: the current mesh. $\mathbf{x}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]$ contains the value of $x_{\mathit{i}}$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{npts}$.

5: $\mathbf{u}\left[\mathbf{npde}\times \mathbf{npts}\right]$ – const double Input

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

On entry: $\mathbf{u}\left[\left(\mathit{j}-1\right)\times \mathbf{npde}+\mathit{i}-1\right]$ contains the value of $U_{\mathit{i}}(x,t)$ at $x=\mathbf{x}\left[\mathit{j}-1\right]$ and time $t$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{npde}$ and $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{npts}$.

6: $\mathbf{fmon}\left[\mathbf{npts}\right]$ – double Output

On exit: $\mathbf{fmon}\left[i-1\right]$ must contain the value of the monitor function $F^{\mathrm{mon}}\left(x\right)$ at mesh point $x=\mathbf{x}\left[i-1\right]$.

Constraint: $\mathbf{fmon}\left[i-1\right]\ge 0.0$.

7: $\mathbf{comm}$ – Nag_Comm *

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

user – double *

iuser – Integer *

p – Pointer 

The type Pointer will be void *. Before calling d03prc you may allocate memory and initialize these pointers with various quantities for use by monitf when called from d03prc (see Section 3.1.1 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

Note: monitf should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by d03prc. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, d03prc is likely to produce unexpected results.

32: $\mathbf{rsave}\left[\mathbf{lrsave}\right]$ – double Communication Array

If $\mathbf{ind}=0$, rsave need not be set on entry.

If $\mathbf{ind}=1$, rsave must be unchanged from the previous call to the function because it contains required information about the iteration.

33: $\mathbf{lrsave}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array rsave. Its size depends on the type of matrix algebra selected.

If $\mathbf{laopt}=\mathrm{Nag\_LinAlgFull}$, $\mathbf{lrsave}\ge \mathbf{neqn}\times \mathbf{neqn}+\mathbf{neqn}+\mathit{nwkres}+\mathit{lenode}$.

If $\mathbf{laopt}=\mathrm{Nag\_LinAlgBand}$, $\mathbf{lrsave}\ge (3\mathit{ml}+\mathit{mu}+2)\times \mathbf{neqn}+\mathit{nwkres}+\mathit{lenode}$.

If $\mathbf{laopt}=\mathrm{Nag\_LinAlgSparse}$, $\mathbf{lrsave}\ge 4\mathbf{neqn}+11\mathbf{neqn}/2+1+\mathit{nwkres}+\mathit{lenode}$.

Where $\mathit{ml}$ and $\mathit{mu}$ are the lower and upper half bandwidths given by $\mathit{ml}=\mathbf{npde}+\mathbf{nleft}-1$ such that

for problems involving PDEs only,

$\mathit{mu}=2\mathbf{npde}-\mathbf{nleft}-1\text{;}$

for coupled PDE/ODE problems,

$\mathit{ml}=\mathit{mu}=\mathbf{neqn}-1\text{.}$

Where $\mathit{nwkres}$ is defined by

if $\mathbf{nv}>0\text{ and }\mathbf{nxi}>0$,

$\mathit{nwkres}=\mathbf{npde}(3\mathbf{npde}+6\mathbf{nxi}+\mathbf{npts}+15)+\mathbf{nxi}+\mathbf{nv}+7\mathbf{npts}+\mathbf{nxfix}+1\text{;}$

if $\mathbf{nv}>0\text{ and }\mathbf{nxi}=0$,

$\mathit{nwkres}=\mathbf{npde}(3\mathbf{npde}+\mathbf{npts}+21)+\mathbf{nv}+7\mathbf{npts}+\mathbf{nxfix}+2\text{;}$

if $\mathbf{nv}=0$,

$\mathit{nwkres}=\mathbf{npde}(3\mathbf{npde}+\mathbf{npts}+21)+7\mathbf{npts}+\mathbf{nxfix}+3\text{.}$

Where $\mathit{lenode}$ is defined by

if the BDF method is used,

$\mathit{lenode}=(6+\mathrm{int}\left(\mathbf{algopt}\left[1\right]\right))\times \mathbf{neqn}+50\text{;}$

if the Theta method is used,

$\mathit{lenode}=9\mathbf{neqn}+50\text{.}$

Note: when using the sparse option, the value of lrsave may be too small when supplied to the integrator. An estimate of the minimum size of lrsave is printed on the current error message unit if $\mathbf{itrace}>0$ and the function returns with $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_INT_2.

34: $\mathbf{isave}\left[\mathbf{lisave}\right]$ – Integer Communication Array

If $\mathbf{ind}=0$, isave need not be set.

If $\mathbf{ind}=1$, isave must be unchanged from the previous call to the function because it contains required information about the iteration. In particular the following components of the array isave concern the efficiency of the integration:

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

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 evaluating the PDE functions at all the mesh points, as well as one evaluation of the functions in the boundary conditions.

$\mathbf{isave}\left[2\right]$

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

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

Contains the order of the ODE method last used in the time integration.

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

Contains the number of Newton iterations performed by the time integrator. Each iteration involves residual evaluation of the resulting ODE system followed by a back-substitution using the $LU$ decomposition of the Jacobian matrix.

The rest of the array is used as workspace.

35: $\mathbf{lisave}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array isave. Its size depends on the type of matrix algebra selected:

• if $\mathbf{laopt}=\mathrm{Nag\_LinAlgFull}$, $\mathbf{lisave}\ge 25+\mathbf{nxfix}$;
• if $\mathbf{laopt}=\mathrm{Nag\_LinAlgBand}$, $\mathbf{lisave}\ge \mathbf{neqn}+25+\mathbf{nxfix}$;
• if $\mathbf{laopt}=\mathrm{Nag\_LinAlgSparse}$, $\mathbf{lisave}\ge 25\times \mathbf{neqn}+25+\mathbf{nxfix}$.

Note: when using the sparse option, the value of lisave may be too small when supplied to the integrator. An estimate of the minimum size of lisave is printed if $\mathbf{itrace}>0$ and the function returns with $\mathbf{fail}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{code}=$ NE_INT_2.

36: $\mathbf{itask}$ – Integer Input

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

$\mathbf{itask}=1$

Normal computation of output values u at $t=\mathbf{tout}$ (by overshooting and interpolating).

$\mathbf{itask}=2$

$\mathbf{itask}=3$

Stop at first internal integration point at or beyond $t=\mathbf{tout}$.

$\mathbf{itask}=4$

$\mathbf{itask}=5$

Take one step in the time direction and return, without passing $t_{\mathrm{crit}}$, where $t_{\mathrm{crit}}$ is described under the argument algopt.

Constraint: $\mathbf{itask}=1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ or $5$.

37: $\mathbf{itrace}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the level of trace information required from d03prc and the underlying ODE solver as follows:

$\mathbf{itrace}\le \mathrm{-1}$

No output is generated.

$\mathbf{itrace}=0$

Only warning messages from the PDE solver are printed.

$\mathbf{itrace}=1$

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.

$\mathbf{itrace}=2$

Output from the underlying ODE solver is similar to that produced when $\mathbf{itrace}=1$, except that the advisory messages are given in greater detail.

$\mathbf{itrace}\ge 3$

The output from the underlying ODE solver is similar to that produced when $\mathbf{itrace}=2$, except that the advisory messages are given in greater detail.

38: $\mathbf{outfile}$ – 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.

39: $\mathbf{ind}$ – 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 and the remeshing arguments nrmesh, dxmesh, trmesh, xratio and con may be reset between calls to d03prc.

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

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

40: $\mathbf{comm}$ – Nag_Comm *

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

41: $\mathbf{saved}$ – Nag_D03_Save * Communication Structure

saved must remain unchanged following a previous call to a Chapter D03 function and prior to any subsequent call to a Chapter D03 function.

42: $\mathbf{fail}$ – NagError * Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ACC_IN_DOUBT

Integration completed, but small changes in atol or rtol are unlikely to result in a changed solution.

The required task has been completed, but it is estimated that a small change in atol and rtol is unlikely to produce any change in the computed solution. (Only applies when you are not operating in one step mode, that is when $\mathbf{itask}\ne 2$ or $5$.)

NE_ALLOC_FAIL

Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ had an illegal value.

NE_FAILED_DERIV

In setting up the ODE system an internal auxiliary was unable to initialize the derivative. This could be due to your setting $\mathbf{ires}=3$ in pdedef or bndary.

NE_FAILED_START

atol and rtol were too small to start integration.

On entry, at least one point in xi lies outside $[\mathbf{x}\left[0\right],\mathbf{x}\left[\mathbf{npts}-1\right]]$: $\mathbf{x}\left[0\right]=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ and $\mathbf{x}\left[\mathbf{npts}-1\right]=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.

On entry, $\mathbf{tout}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ and $\mathbf{ts}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{tout}>\mathbf{ts}$.

On entry, $\mathbf{tout}-\mathbf{ts}$ is too small: $\mathbf{tout}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ and $\mathbf{ts}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.

NE_REAL_ARRAY

On entry, $\mathit{i}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ and $\mathbf{atol}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{atol}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]\ge 0.0$.

On entry, $\mathit{i}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ and $\mathbf{rtol}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{rtol}\left[\mathit{i}-1\right]\ge 0.0$.

NE_REMESH_CHANGED

remesh has been changed between calls to d03prc.

NE_SING_JAC

Singular Jacobian of ODE system. Check problem formulation.

NE_USER_STOP

In evaluating residual of ODE system, $\mathbf{ires}=2$ has been set in pdedef, bndary, or odedef. Integration is successful as far as ts: $\mathbf{ts}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.

NE_ZERO_WTS

Zero error weights encountered during time integration.

Some error weights $w_i$ became zero during the time integration (see the description of itol). Pure relative error control $(\mathbf{atol}\left[i-1\right]=0.0)$ was requested on a variable (the $i$th) which has become zero. The integration was successful as far as $t=\mathbf{ts}$.
