void	d02ntf_ (const Integer neq, const Integer neqmax, const char jceval, const Integer ml, const Integer mu, const Integer nwkjac, const Integer njcpvt, double rwork[], Integer ifail, const Charlen length_jceval)

The routine may be called by the names d02ntf or nagf_ode_ivp_stiff_bandjac_setup.

3 Description

d02ntf defines the linear algebra to be used as banded matrix linear algebra, permits you to specify the method for calculating the Jacobian and checks the validity of certain input values.

5 Arguments

1: $neq$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of differential equations.

Constraint:

1 \leq neq \leq neqmax

2: $neqmax$ – Integer Input

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

Constraint:

neqmax \geq neq

3: $jceval$ – Character(1) Input

On entry: specifies the technique to be used to compute the Jacobian as follows:

$jceval ='N'$: The Jacobian is to be evaluated numerically by the integrator. If this option is used, the actual argument corresponding to jac in the call to d02ncf or d02nhf must be either d02ncz or d02nhz respectively.
$jceval ='A'$: You must supply a (sub)program to evaluate the Jacobian on a call to the integrator.
$jceval ='D'$: The default choice is to be made. In this case 'D' is interpreted as 'N'.

Only the first character of the actual argument jceval is passed to d02ntf; hence it is permissible for the actual argument to be more descriptive, e.g., ‘Numerical’, ‘Analytical’ or ‘Default’, on a call to d02ntf.

Constraint:

jceval ='N'

'A'

'D'

4: $ml$ – Integer Input

On entry:

m_{L}

, the number of subdiagonals in the band.

Constraint:

0 \leq ml \leq neq - 1

5: $mu$ – Integer Input

On entry:

m_{U}

, the number of superdiagonals in the band.

Constraint:

0 \leq mu \leq neq - 1

6: $nwkjac$ – Integer Input

On entry: the size of the workspace array wkjac, which you are supplying to the integrator, as declared in the (sub)program from which d02ntf is called.

Constraint:

nwkjac \geq (2 \times ml + mu + 1) \times neqmax

7: $njcpvt$ – Integer Input

On entry: the size of the workspace array jacpvt, which you are supplying to the integrator, as declared in the (sub)program from which d02ntf is called.

Constraint:

njcpvt \geq neqmax

8: $rwork (50 + 4 \times neqmax)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Communication Array

This must be the same workspace array as the array rwork supplied to the integrator. It is used to pass information from the setup routine to the integrator and, therefore, the contents of this array must not be changed before calling the integrator.

9: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output

On 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

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, $jceval = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $jceval ='A'$ , $'N'$ or $'D'$ .

On entry, $ml = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $ml \geq 0$ .

On entry, $ml = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $neq = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $ml \leq neq - 1$ .

On entry, $mu = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $mu \geq 0$ .

On entry, $mu = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $neq = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $mu \leq neq - 1$ .

On entry, $neq = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $neq \geq 1$ .

On entry, $neq = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $neqmax = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $neq \leq neqmax$ .

On entry, $neqmax = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $neqmax \geq 1$ .

On entry, $njcpvt = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $neqmax = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $njcpvt \geq neqmax$ .

On entry, $nwkjac = ⟨ value ⟩$ , $ml = ⟨ value ⟩$ , $mu = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $neqmax = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $nwkjac \geq (2 \times ml + mu + 1) \times neqmax$ .

$ifail = - 99$: 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.

$ifail = - 999$: Dynamic memory allocation failed.

7 Accuracy

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

d02ntf 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.

d02ntf is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

d02ntf must be called as a setup routine before a call to either d02ncf or d02nhf and may be called as the linear algebra setup routine before a call to either d02nmf or d02nnf.
