RK45MultiStep

public RK45MultiStep(ODE _ode)

Constructs the RK45MultiStep ODESolver for a system of ordinary differential equations.

Parameters:

_ode - the system of differential equations.

Method Detail

step

public double step()

Steps (advances) the differential equations by the stepSize. The ODESolver invokes the ODE's getRate method to obtain the initial state of the system. The ODESolver then advances the solution and copies the new state into the state array at the end of the solution step.

Specified by:

step in interface ODESolver

Overrides:

step in class DormandPrince45

Returns:

the step size

setMaxIterations

public void setMaxIterations(int n)

Sets the maximum number of iterations.

Parameters:

n - maximum

setMaximumNumberOfErrorMessages

public void setMaximumNumberOfErrorMessages(int n)

Sets the number of error messages if ODE solver did not converge.

Parameters:

n - int

initialize

public void initialize(double stepSize)

Initializes the ODE solver. Temporary state and rate arrays are allocated by invoking the superclass method.

Specified by:

initialize in interface ODESolver

Overrides:

initialize in class DormandPrince45

Parameters:

stepSize -

setStepSize

public void setStepSize(double stepSize)

Method setStepSize

Specified by:

setStepSize in interface ODESolver

Overrides:

setStepSize in class DormandPrince45

Parameters:

stepSize -

getStepSize

public double getStepSize()

Gets the step size. The step size is the fixed step size, not the size of the RK4/5 steps that are combined into a single step.

Specified by:

getStepSize in interface ODESolver

Overrides:

getStepSize in class DormandPrince45

Returns:

the step size

getErrorCode

public int getErrorCode()

Gets the error code. Error codes: ODEAdaptiveSolver.NO_ERROR ODEAdaptiveSolver.DID_NOT_CONVERGE

Specified by:

getErrorCode in interface ODEAdaptiveSolver

Overrides:

getErrorCode in class DormandPrince45

Returns:

int
