deSolve (version 1.40)

deSolve-internal: Internal deSolve Functions

Description

Internal deSolve functions, these are not to be called by the user.

Usage

timestep(prev = TRUE)

Arguments

prev

if TRUE will return the timestep previously used; when FALSE will return the time step to be currently tried by the integrator.

Details

Function timestep is intended to return the current or next timestep of the integration. It works only under specific circumstances and should not be used by the end user.

Instead of this, please see the example below for a pure R solution.

See Also

diagnostics for information about the time steps used,
lagvalue and lagderiv that can be used for DDEs.
