ODEPACK
ODEPACK is a systemized package of routines for solving systems of
initial value, ordinary differential equations, for stiff and non-stiff
problems. This package uses Gear's method and step methods. The user
has the option of providing Jacobian matrices for the stiff case, or
of letting ODEPACK generate them numerically.
Recommendation: Use ODEPACK, unless you can find comparable, faster
software for your problem.
-
Documentation: usage instructions are available as comment lines in
netlib's odepack directory.
Library overview documentation is available as the readme file in
netlib's odepack directory. The following article is recommended for
an overview of the library: "ODEPACK, A Systemized Collection of ODE
Solvers," in Scientific Computing, R. S. Stepleman et al. (eds.),
North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1983 (Vol. 1 of IMACS Transactions on
Scientific Computation), pp. 55-64.
-
Source code: you may obtain Fortran source from netlib's odepack directory.
-
NCAR users: the ODEPACK binary library is available to NCAR computer users,
for linking with Fortran programs, on some of SCD's compute-servers. See
"SCD Computers, Products, and Libraries" for the names of those computers.
If you have questions about linking the binary library on these NCAR systems,
please see
"Linking SCD's Local Fortran Math Libraries".
