ODE Types

Mathematical Specification of an ODE Problem

To define an ODE Problem, you simply need to give the function $f$ and the initial condition $u₀$ which define an ODE:

\[\frac{du}{dt} = f(t,u)\]

f should be specified as f(t,u) (or in-place as f(t,u,du)), and u₀ should be an AbstractArray (or number) whose geometry matches the desired geometry of u. Note that we are not limited to numbers or vectors for u₀; one is allowed to provide u₀ as arbitrary matrices / higher dimension tensors as well.

Problem Type

Constructors

ODEProblem(f,u0,tspan) : Defines the ODE with the specified functions.

Fields

Special Solver Options

Special Solution Fields

None. The ODE type is as basic as it gets.

Example Problems

Example problems can be found in DiffEqProblemLibrary.jl.

To use a sample problem, such as prob_ode_linear, you can do something like:

# Pkg.add("DiffEqProblemLibrary")
using DiffEqProblemLibrary
prob = prob_ode_linear
sol = solve(prob)
