Banded jacobian matrix for a system of ODEs (ordinary differential equations)

Description

Given a vector of (state) variables y, and a function that estimates a function value for each (state) variable (e.g. the rate of change), estimates the Jacobian matrix (d(f(y))/d(y)).

Assumes a banded structure of the Jacobian matrix, i.e. where the non-zero elements are restricted to a number of bands above and below the diagonal.

Usage

jacobian.band(y, func, bandup = 1, banddown = 1, 
              dy = NULL, time = 0, parms = NULL, pert = 1e-8, ...)

Arguments

y	(state) variables, a vector; if y has a name attribute, the names will be used to label the jacobian matrix columns.
func	function that calculates one function value for each element of y; if an ODE system, func calculates the rate of change (see details).
bandup	number of nonzero bands above the diagonal of the Jacobian matrix.
banddown	number of nonzero bands below the diagonal of the Jacobian matrix.
dy	reference function value; if not specified, it will be estimated by calling func.
time	time, passed to function func.
parms	parameter values, passed to function func.
pert	numerical perturbation factor; increase depending on precision of model solution.
...	other arguments passed to function func.

Details

The function func that estimates the rate of change of the state variables has to be consistent with functions called from R-package deSolve, which contains integration routines.

This function call is as: function(time,y,parms,...) where

• y : (state) variable values at which the Jacobian is estimated.

• parms: parameter vector - need not be used.

• time: time at which the Jacobian is estimated - in general, time will not be used.

• ...: (optional) any other arguments

The Jacobian is estimated numerically, by perturbing the x-values.

Value

Jacobian matrix, in banded format, i.e. only the nonzero bands near the diagonal form the rows of the Jacobian.

this matrix has bandup+banddown+1 rows, while the number of columns equal the length of y.

Thus, if the full Jacobian is given by:

	[,1],	[,2],	[,3],	[,4]
[,1]	1	2	0	0
[,2]	3	4	5	0
[,3]	0	6	7	8
[,4]	0	0	9	10

the banded jacobian will be:

	[,1],	[,2],	[,3],	[,4]
[,1]	0	2	5	8
[,2]	1	4	7	10
[,3]	3	6	9	0

Examples

## =======================================================================

mod <- function (t = 0, y, parms = NULL,...) {
  dy1 <-  y[1] + 2*y[2]
  dy2 <-3*y[1] + 4*y[2] + 5*y[3]
  dy3 <-         6*y[2] + 7*y[3] + 8*y[4]
  dy4 <-                  9*y[3] +10*y[4]
  return(as.list(c(dy1, dy2, dy3, dy4)))
}

jacobian.band(y = c(1, 2, 3, 4), func = mod)
