Description

The Bulirsch-Stoer is a controlled stepper that adjusts both step size and order of the method. The algorithm uses the modified midpoint and a polynomial extrapolation compute the solution.

  2. typename Value = double

    The value type.

  3. typename Deriv = State

    The type representing the time derivative of the state.

  4. typename Time = Value

    The time representing the independent variable - the time.

  5. typename Algebra = typename algebra_dispatcher< State >::algebra_type

    The algebra type.

  6. typename Operations = typename operations_dispatcher< State >::operations_type

    The operations type.

  7. typename Resizer = initially_resizer

  1. bulirsch_stoer(value_type eps_abs = 1E-6, value_type eps_rel = 1E-6, 
                   value_type factor_x = 1.0, value_type factor_dxdt = 1.0, 
                   time_type max_dt = static_cast< time_type >(0));
    Constructs the bulirsch_stoer class, including initialization of the error bounds.

    Parameters:

    eps_abs

    Absolute tolerance level.

    eps_rel

    Relative tolerance level.

    factor_dxdt

    Factor for the weight of the derivative.

    factor_x

    Factor for the weight of the state.

bulirsch_stoer public member functions

  1. template<typename System, typename StateInOut> 
      controlled_step_result 
      try_step(System system, StateInOut & x, time_type & t, time_type & dt);
    Tries to perform one step.

    This method tries to do one step with step size dt. If the error estimate is to large, the step is rejected and the method returns fail and the step size dt is reduced. If the error estimate is acceptably small, the step is performed, success is returned and dt might be increased to make the steps as large as possible. This method also updates t if a step is performed. Also, the internal order of the stepper is adjusted if required.

    Parameters:

    dt

    The step size. Updated.

    system

    The system function to solve, hence the r.h.s. of the ODE. It must fulfill the Simple System concept.

    t

    The value of the time. Updated if the step is successful.

    x

    The state of the ODE which should be solved. Overwritten if the step is successful.

    Returns:

    success if the step was accepted, fail otherwise.

  2. template<typename System, typename StateInOut> 
      controlled_step_result 
      try_step(System system, const StateInOut & x, time_type & t, time_type & dt);
    Second version to solve the forwarding problem, can be used with Boost.Range as StateInOut.
  3. template<typename System, typename StateInOut, typename DerivIn> 
      controlled_step_result 
      try_step(System system, StateInOut & x, const DerivIn & dxdt, time_type & t, 
               time_type & dt);
    Tries to perform one step.

    This method tries to do one step with step size dt. If the error estimate is to large, the step is rejected and the method returns fail and the step size dt is reduced. If the error estimate is acceptably small, the step is performed, success is returned and dt might be increased to make the steps as large as possible. This method also updates t if a step is performed. Also, the internal order of the stepper is adjusted if required.

    Parameters:

    dt

    The step size. Updated.

    dxdt

    The derivative of state.

    system

    The system function to solve, hence the r.h.s. of the ODE. It must fulfill the Simple System concept.

    t

    The value of the time. Updated if the step is successful.

    x

    The state of the ODE which should be solved. Overwritten if the step is successful.

    Returns:

    success if the step was accepted, fail otherwise.

  4. template<typename System, typename StateIn, typename StateOut> 
      boost::disable_if< boost::is_same< StateIn, time_type >, controlled_step_result >::type 
      try_step(System system, const StateIn & in, time_type & t, StateOut & out, 
               time_type & dt);
    Tries to perform one step.
    [Note] Note

    This method is disabled if state_type=time_type to avoid ambiguity.

    This method tries to do one step with step size dt. If the error estimate is to large, the step is rejected and the method returns fail and the step size dt is reduced. If the error estimate is acceptably small, the step is performed, success is returned and dt might be increased to make the steps as large as possible. This method also updates t if a step is performed. Also, the internal order of the stepper is adjusted if required.

    Parameters:

    dt

    The step size. Updated.

    in

    The state of the ODE which should be solved.

    out

    Used to store the result of the step.

    system

    The system function to solve, hence the r.h.s. of the ODE. It must fulfill the Simple System concept.

    t

    The value of the time. Updated if the step is successful.

    Returns:

    success if the step was accepted, fail otherwise.

               time_type & t, StateOut & out, time_type & dt);
