the initial (state) values for the ODE system. If y
has a name attribute, the names will be used to label the output
matrix.
times at which explicit estimates for y
are
desired. The first value in times
must be the initial time.
either an R-function that computes the values of the derivatives in the ODE system (the model definition) at time t, or a character string giving the name of a compiled function in a dynamically loaded shared library.
If func
is an R-function, it must be defined as:
func <- function(t, y, parms,...)
. t
is the current
time point in the integration, y
is the current estimate of
the variables in the ODE system. If the initial values y
has
a names
attribute, the names will be available inside func
.
parms
is a vector or list of parameters; ... (optional) are
any other arguments passed to the function.
The return value of func
should be a list, whose first
element is a vector containing the derivatives of y
with
respect to time
, and whose next elements are global values
that are required at each point in times
. The derivatives
must be specified in the same order as the state variables y
.
If func
is a string, then dllname
must give the name
of the shared library (without extension) which must be loaded
before rk4
is called. See package vignette
"compiledCode"
for more details.
vector or list of parameters used in func
.
for 1D models only: the number of species (components)
in the model. If NULL
, then dimens
should be specified.
for 1D models only: the number of boxes in the
model. If NULL
, then nspec
should be specified.
for 1D models only: the names of the components; used for plotting.
a logical value that, when TRUE
, triggers more
verbose output from the ODE solver.
if FALSE
: names of state variables are not passed
to function func
; this may speed up the simulation especially
for large models.
a string giving the name of the shared library
(without extension) that contains all the compiled function or
subroutine definitions refered to in func
.
See package vignette "compiledCode"
.
if not NULL
, the name of the initialisation function
(which initialises values of parameters), as provided in
dllname
. See package vignette "compiledCode"
,
only when dllname
is specified and an
initialisation function initfunc
is in the DLL: the
parameters passed to the initialiser, to initialise the common
blocks (FORTRAN) or global variables (C, C++).
only when dllname
is specified: a vector with
double precision values passed to the DLL-functions whose names are
specified by func
and jacfunc
.
only when dllname
is specified: a vector with
integer values passed to the dll-functions whose names are specified
by func
and jacfunc
.
only used if dllname
is specified and the model is
defined in compiled code: the number of output variables calculated
in the compiled function func
, present in the shared
library. Note: it is not automatically checked whether this is
indeed the number of output variables calculated in the DLL - you have
to perform this check in the code. See package vignette
"compiledCode"
.
only used if dllname
is specified and
nout
> 0: the names of output variables calculated in the
compiled function func
, present in the shared library.
only used if dllname
is specified: a list with
the forcing function data sets, each present as a two-columned matrix,
with (time, value); interpolation outside the interval
[min(times
), max(times
)] is done by taking the value at
the closest data extreme.
See forcings or package vignette "compiledCode"
.
if not NULL
, the name of the forcing function
initialisation function, as provided in
dllname
. It MUST be present if forcings
has been given a
value.
See forcings or package vignette "compiledCode"
.
A list of control parameters for the forcing functions.
See forcings or vignette compiledCode
.
additional arguments passed to func
allowing this
to be a generic function.
A matrix of class deSolve
with up to as many rows as elements
in times
and as many columns as elements in y
plus the
number of "global" values returned in the next elements of the return
from func
, plus and additional column for the time value.
There will be a row for each element in times
unless the
integration routine returns with an unrecoverable error. If y
has a names attribute, it will be used to label the columns of the
output value.
rk4
and euler
are special versions of the two fixed step
solvers with less overhead and less functionality (e.g. no interpolation
and no events) compared to the generic Runge-Kutta codes called by
ode
resp. rk
.
If you need different internal and external time steps or want to use events,
please use:
rk(y, times, func, parms, method = "rk4")
or
rk(y, times, func, parms, method = "euler")
.
See help pages of rk
and rkMethod
for details.
Function euler.1D
essentially calls function euler
but
contains additional code to support plotting of 1D models, see
ode.1D
and plot.1D
for details.
