In deSolve: Solvers for Initial Value Problems of Differential Equations ('ODE', 'DAE', 'DDE')

General Solvers for Initial Value Problems of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE), Partial Differential Equations (PDE), Differential Algebraic Equations (DAE) and delay differential equations (DDE).

Description

Functions that solve initial value problems of a system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODE), of partial differential equations (PDE), of differential algebraic equations (DAE) and delay differential equations.

The functions provide an interface to the FORTRAN functions lsoda, lsodar, lsode, lsodes of the ODEPACK collection, to the FORTRAN functions dvode, zvode and daspk, and a C-implementation of solvers of the Runge-Kutta family with fixed or variable time steps.

The package contains routines designed for solving ODEs resulting from 1-D, 2-D and 3-D partial differential equations (PDE) that have been converted to ODEs by numerical differencing. It includes root-finding (or event location) and provides access to lagged variables and derivatives.

The system of differential equations is written as an R function or defined in compiled code that has been dynamically loaded, see package vignette compiledCode for details. The solvers may be used as part of a modeling package for differential equations, or for parameter estimation using any appropriate modeling tool for non-linear models in R such as optim, nls, nlm or nlme, or FME.

  with(as.list(c(state, parameters)), {
    dX <-  a * X + Y * Z
    dY <-  b * (Y - Z)
