Purpose

nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_setup (d02phc) is a reverse communication function that computes the interpolant for evaluation by nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_eval (d02pjc) anywhere on an integration step taken by nag_ode_ivp_rk_step_revcomm (d02pgc). The direct communication version of the nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_setup (d02phc) and nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_eval (d02pjc) pair is nag_ode_ivp_rkts_interp (d02psc). A significant difference in functionality between the forward and reverse communication versions is that nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_setup (d02phc) and nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_eval (d02pjc) can interpolate for the high-order Runge–Kutta method.

Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagd02.h>
void  nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_setup (Integer *irevcm, Integer n, Integer nwant, double *t, double y[], const double yp[], double wcomm[], Integer lwcomm, Integer iwsav[], double rwsav[], NagError *fail)

Description

nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_setup (d02phc) and its associated functions (nag_ode_ivp_rk_step_revcomm (d02pgc), nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_eval (d02pjc), nag_ode_ivp_rkts_setup (d02pqc), nag_ode_ivp_rkts_reset_tend (d02prc), nag_ode_ivp_rkts_diag (d02ptc) and nag_ode_ivp_rkts_errass (d02puc)) solve the initial value problem for a first-order system of ordinary differential equations. The functions, based on Runge–Kutta methods and derived from RKSUITE (see Brankin et al. (1991)), integrate
y=ft,y  given  yt0=y0  
where y is the vector of n solution components and t is the independent variable.
nag_ode_ivp_rk_step_revcomm (d02pgc) computes the solution at the end of an integration step. Using the information computed on that step nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_setup (d02phc) computes the interpolant which can be evaluated at any point on that step by nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_eval (d02pjc). If method=Nag_RK_2_3 then there is enough information available from the stages of the last step to provide an interpolant of sufficient order of accuracy; no further derivative evaluations will therefore be requested. If method=Nag_RK_4_5 then the interpolant is an order 8 continuous Runge–Kutta process that requires a further 3 stages of derivative evaluations that will be requested in turn before a final exit. If method=Nag_RK_7_8 was specified in the call to setup function nag_ode_ivp_rkts_setup (d02pqc) then the interpolant is a continuous Runge–Kutta process requiring a further 7 stages of derivative evaluations that will be requested in turn.

Arguments

Note: this function uses reverse communication. Its use involves an initial entry, intermediate exits and re-entries, and a final exit, as indicated by the argument irevcm. Between intermediate exits and re-entries, all arguments other than those specified by the value of irevcm must remain unchanged.
1:     irevcm Integer *Input/Output
On initial entry: irevcm must be set to zero to indicate that the interpolant for a new step is being taken.
On intermediate re-entry: irevcm should remain unchanged.
On intermediate exit: irevcm returns a value 1 to indicate that a function evaluation is required prior to re-entry; the value of the derivatives must be returned in yp where the value of t is supplied in t and the values yt are supplied in the array y.
On final exit:
irevcm=-1
Successful exit; rwsav and wcomm contain details of the interpolant.
irevcm=-2
Error exit; fail should be interrogated to determine the nature of the error.
Note: any values you return to nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_setup (d02phc) as part of the reverse communication procedure should not include floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_setup (d02phc). If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_setup (d02phc) is likely to produce unexpected results.
2:     n IntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of ordinary differential equations in the system to be solved by the integration function.
Constraint: n1. This must be the same value as supplied in a previous call to nag_ode_ivp_rkts_setup (d02pqc).
3:     nwant IntegerInput
On entry: the number of components of the solution to be computed. The first nwant components are evaluated.
Constraint: 1nwantn.
4:     t double *Output
On intermediate exit: t contains the value of the independent variable t at which the derivatives y are to be evaluated.
On final exit: contains no useful information.
5:     y[n] doubleOutput
On intermediate exit: y contains the value of the solution y at which the derivatives y are to be evaluated.
On final exit: contains no useful information.
6:     yp[n] const doubleInput
On initial entry: need not be set.
On intermediate re-entry: yp must contain the values of the derivatives yi for the given values of the parameters t, yi.
7:     wcomm[lwcomm] doubleCommunication Array
On entry: wcomm need not be set.
On intermediate re-entry: wcomm contains the partial computation of the polynomial coefficients corresponding to a continuous Runge–Kutta process for interpolating medium and high order Runge–Kutta methods.
On final exit: if method=Nag_RK_4_5 or Nag_RK_7_8, wcomm contains details of the interpolant which must be passed unchanged to nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_eval (d02pjc) for evaluation of the interpolant.
8:     lwcomm IntegerInput
On entry: length of wcomm.
If in a previous call to nag_ode_ivp_rkts_setup (d02pqc):
  • method=Nag_RK_2_3, lwcomm must be at least 1.
  • method=Nag_RK_4_5, lwcomm must be at least n+maxn,5×nwant.
  • method=Nag_RK_7_8, lwcomm must be at least 8×nwant.
9:     iwsav[130] IntegerCommunication Array
10:   rwsav[32×n+350] doubleCommunication Array
On entry: these must be the same arrays supplied in a previous call nag_ode_ivp_rk_step_revcomm (d02pgc). They must remain unchanged between calls.
On exit: information about the integration for use on subsequent calls to nag_ode_ivp_rk_step_revcomm (d02pgc), nag_ode_ivp_rk_interp_eval (d02pjc) or other associated functions.
11:   fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).
