naginterfaces.library.pde.dim1_parab_dae_coll(npde, m, ts, tout, pdedef, bndary, u, xbkpts, npoly, npts, nv, xi, uvinit, rtol, atol, itol, norm, laopt, algopt, comm, itask, itrace, ind, odedef=None, lrsave_estim=0, lisave_estim=0, data=None, io_manager=None, spiked_sorder='C')

dim1_parab_dae_coll integrates a system of linear or nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs), in one space variable with scope for coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The spatial discretization is performed using a Chebyshev $C^0$ collocation method, and the method of lines is employed to reduce the PDEs to a system of ODEs. The resulting system is solved using a backward differentiation formula (BDF) method or a Theta method (switching between Newton’s method and functional iteration).

Note: you are recommended to use the banded option when no coupled ODEs are present (i.e., $nv=0$).

algoptfloat, array-like, shape $\left(30\right)$

May be set to control various options available in the integrator. If you wish to employ all the default options, $algopt\left[0\right]$ should be set to $0.0$. Default values will also be used for any other elements of $algopt$ set to zero. The permissible values, default values, and meanings are as follows:

$algopt\left[0\right]$

Selects the ODE integration method to be used. If $algopt\left[0\right]=1.0$, a BDF method is used and if $algopt\left[0\right]=2.0$, a Theta method is used. The default value is $algopt\left[0\right]=1.0$.

If $algopt\left[0\right]=2.0$, $algopt[\text{i}-1]$, for $\text{i}=2,3,\dots ,4$ are not used.

$algopt\left[1\right]$

Specifies the maximum order of the BDF integration formula to be used. $algopt\left[1\right]$ may be $1.0$, $2.0$, $3.0$, $4.0$ or $5.0$. The default value is $algopt\left[1\right]=5.0$.

$algopt\left[2\right]$

Specifies what method is to be used to solve the system of nonlinear equations arising on each step of the BDF method. If $algopt\left[2\right]=1.0$ a modified Newton iteration is used and if $algopt\left[2\right]=2.0$ a functional iteration method is used. If functional iteration is selected and the integrator encounters difficulty, there is an automatic switch to the modified Newton iteration. The default value is $algopt\left[2\right]=1.0$.

$algopt\left[3\right]$

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 $P_{i,\text{j}}=0.0$, for $\text{j}=1,2,\dots ,npde$, for some $i$ or when there is no ${\dot{V}}_i\left(t\right)$ dependence in the coupled ODE system. If $algopt\left[3\right]=1.0$, the Petzold test is used. If $algopt\left[3\right]=2.0$, the Petzold test is not used. The default value is $algopt\left[3\right]=1.0$.

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

$algopt\left[4\right]$

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

$algopt\left[5\right]$

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

$algopt\left[6\right]$

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 $algopt\left[6\right]=1.0$, switching is allowed and if $algopt\left[6\right]=2.0$, switching is not allowed. The default value is $algopt\left[6\right]=1.0$.

$algopt\left[10\right]$

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

$algopt\left[11\right]$

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

$algopt\left[12\right]$

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

$algopt\left[13\right]$

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

$algopt\left[14\right]$

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

$algopt\left[22\right]$

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 $\dot{V}$. If $algopt\left[22\right]=1.0$, a modified Newton iteration is used and if $algopt\left[22\right]=2.0$, functional iteration is used. The default value is $algopt\left[22\right]=1.0$.

$algopt\left[28\right]$ and $algopt\left[29\right]$ are used only for the sparse matrix algebra option, $laopt=\text{'S'}$.

$algopt\left[28\right]$

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

$algopt\left[29\right]$

Is used as a relative pivot threshold during subsequent Jacobian decompositions (see $algopt\left[28\right]$) below which an internal error is invoked. If $algopt\left[29\right]$ 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 $algopt\left[28\right]$). The default value is $algopt\left[29\right]=0.0001$.

Note: this argument will be (re-)initialized when it is an empty dict or under the following condition: $ind=0$.

$itask=5$

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

itraceint

The level of trace information required from dim1_parab_dae_coll and the underlying ODE solver. $itrace$ may take the value $-1$, $0$, $1$, $2$ or $3$.

$itrace=-1$

No output is generated.

$itrace=0$

Only warning messages from the PDE solver are printed.

$itrace>0$

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.

If $itrace<-1$, $-1$ is assumed and similarly if $itrace>3$, $3$ is assumed.

The advisory messages are given in greater detail as $itrace$ increases. You are advised to set $itrace=0$, unless you are experienced with submodule ode.

indint

Indicates whether this is a continuation call or a new integration.

$ind=0$

Starts or restarts the integration in time.

$ind=1$

Continues the integration after an earlier exit from the function. In this case, only the argument $tout$ should be reset between calls to dim1_parab_dae_coll.

odedefNone or callable (f, ires) = odedef(t, v, vdot, xi, ucp, ucpx, rcp, ucpt, ucptx, ires, data=None), optional

Note: if this argument is None then a NAG-supplied facility will be used.

Notes

dim1_parab_dae_coll integrates the system of parabolic-elliptic equations and coupled ODEs

$$\sum _{j=1}^{npde}{P}_{i,j}\frac{\partial U_j}{\partial t}+Q_i=x^{-m}\frac{\partial }{\partial x}\left(x^m{R}_i\right)\text{,}i=1,2,\dots ,npde\text{,}a\le x\le b,t\ge t_0\text{,}$$

$$F_i(t,V,\dot{V},\xi ,U^{\ast },U_x^{\ast },R^{\ast },U_t^{\ast },U_{xt}^{\ast })=0\text{,}i=1,2,\dots ,nv\text{,}$$

where (1) defines the PDE part and (2) generalizes the coupled ODE part of the problem.

In (1), $P_{i,j}$ and $R_i$ depend on $x$, $t$, $U$, $U_x$, and $V$; $Q_i$ depends on $x$, $t$, $U$, $U_x$, $V$ and linearly on $\dot{V}$. The vector $U$ is the set of PDE solution values

$$U(x,t)={[U_1(x,t),\dots ,U_{npde}(x,t)]}^T\text{,}$$

and the vector $U_x$ is the partial derivative with respect to $x$. Note that $P_{i,j}$, $Q_i$ and $R_i$ must not depend on $\frac{\partial U}{\partial t}$. The vector $V$ is the set of ODE solution values

$$V\left(t\right)={[V_1\left(t\right),\dots ,V_{nv}\left(t\right)]}^T\text{,}$$

and $\dot{V}$ denotes its derivative with respect to time.

In (2), $\xi$ represents a vector of $n_{\xi }$ spatial coupling points at which the ODEs are coupled to the PDEs. These points may or may not be equal to some of the PDE spatial mesh points. $U^{\ast }$, $U_x^{\ast }$, $R^{\ast }$, $U_t^{\ast }$ and $U_{xt}^{\ast }$ are the functions $U$, $U_x$, $R$, $U_t$ and $U_{xt}$ evaluated at these coupling points. Each $F_i$ may only depend linearly on time derivatives. Hence the equation (2) may be written more precisely as

$$\begin{array}{c}F=G-A\dot{V}-B\left(\begin{array}{c}{U}_t^{\ast }\\ U_{xt}^{\ast }\end{array}\right)\text{,}\end{array}$$

where $F={[F_1,\dots ,F_{nv}]}^T$, $G$ is a vector of length $nv$, $A$ is an $nv$ by $nv$ matrix, $B$ is an $nv$ by $(n_{\xi }\times npde)$ matrix and the entries in $G$, $A$ and $B$ may depend on $t$, $\xi$, $U^{\ast }$, $U_x^{\ast }$ and $V$. In practice you need only supply a vector of information to define the ODEs and not the matrices $A$ and $B$. (See Parameters for the specification of $odedef$.)

The integration in time is from $t_0$ to $t_{out}$, over the space interval $a\le x\le b$, where $a=x_1$ and $b=x_{\text{nbkpts}}$ are the leftmost and rightmost of a user-defined set of break-points $x_1,x_2,\dots ,x_{\text{nbkpts}}$. The coordinate system in space is defined by the value of $m$; $m=0$ for Cartesian coordinates, $m=1$ for cylindrical polar coordinates and $m=2$ for spherical polar coordinates.

The PDE system which is defined by the functions $P_{i,j}$, $Q_i$ and $R_i$ must be specified in $pdedef$.

The initial values of the functions $U(x,t)$ and $V\left(t\right)$ must be given at $t=t_0$. These values are calculated in $uvinit$.

The functions $R_i$ which may be thought of as fluxes, are also used in the definition of the boundary conditions. The boundary conditions must have the form

$${\beta }_i(x,t)R_i(x,t,U,U_x,V)={\gamma }_i(x,t,U,U_x,V,\dot{V})\text{,}i=1,2,\dots ,npde\text{,}$$

where $x=a$ or $x=b$. The functions ${\gamma }_i$ may only depend linearly on $\dot{V}$.

The boundary conditions must be specified in $bndary$.

The algebraic-differential equation system which is defined by the functions $F_i$ must be specified in $odedef$. You must also specify the coupling points $\xi$ in the array $xi$. Thus, the problem is subject to the following restrictions:

1. in (1), ${\dot{V}}_{\text{j}}\left(t\right)$, for $\text{j}=1,2,\dots ,nv$, may only appear linearly in the functions $Q_{\text{i}}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,npde$, with a similar restriction for $\gamma$;

2. $P_{\text{i},j}$ and the flux $R_{\text{i}}$ must not depend on any time derivatives;

3. $t_0<t_{out}$, so that integration is in the forward direction;

4. the evaluation of the functions $P_{i,j}$, $Q_i$ and $R_i$ is done at both the break-points and internally selected points for each element in turn, that is $P_{i,j}$, $Q_i$ and $R_i$ are evaluated twice at each break-point. Any discontinuities in these functions must, therefore, be at one or more of the mesh points;

5. at least one of the functions $P_{i,j}$ must be nonzero so that there is a time derivative present in the PDE problem;

6. if $m>0$ and $x_1=0.0$, which is the left boundary point, then it must be ensured that the PDE solution is bounded at this point. This can be done either by specifying the solution at $x=0.0$ or by specifying a zero flux there, that is ${\beta }_i=1.0$ and ${\gamma }_i=0.0$.

The parabolic equations are approximated by a system of ODEs in time for the values of $U_i$ at the mesh points. This ODE system is obtained by approximating the PDE solution between each pair of break-points by a Chebyshev polynomial of degree $npoly$. The interval between each pair of break-points is treated by dim1_parab_dae_coll as an element, and on this element, a polynomial and its space and time derivatives are made to satisfy the system of PDEs at $npoly-1$ spatial points, which are chosen internally by the code and the break-points. The user-defined break-points and the internally selected points together define the mesh. The smallest value that $npoly$ can take is one, in which case, the solution is approximated by piecewise linear polynomials between consecutive break-points and the method is similar to an ordinary finite element method.

In total there are $(\text{nbkpts}-1)\times npoly+1$ mesh points in the spatial direction, and $npde\times ((\text{nbkpts}-1)\times npoly+1)+nv$ ODEs in the time direction; one ODE at each break-point for each PDE component, $npoly-1$ ODEs for each PDE component between each pair of break-points, and $nv$ coupled ODEs. The system is then integrated forwards in time using a Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF) method or a Theta method.
