DAE Problems
Mathematical Specification of an DAE Problem
To define a DAE Problem, you simply need to give the function $f$ and the initial condition $u₀$ which define an ODE:
f
should be specified as f(t,u,du)
(or in-place as f(t,u,du,resid)
). 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
DAEProblem(f,u0,du0,tspan)
: Defines the ODE with the specified functions.
Fields
f
: The function in the ODE.u0
: The initial condition.du0
: The initial condition for the derivative.tspan
: The timespan for the problem.callback
: A callback to be applied to every solver which uses the problem. Defaults to a black CallbackSet, which will have no effect.differential_vars
: A logical array which declares which variables are the differential (non algebraic) vars (i.e.du'
is in the equations for this variable). Defaults to nothing. Some solvers may require this be set if an initial condition needs to be determined.
Example Problems
Examples problems can be found in DiffEqProblemLibrary.jl.
To use a sample problem, such as prob_dae_resrob
, you can do something like:
#Pkg.add("DiffEqProblemLibrary")
using DiffEqProblemLibrary
prob = prob_dae_resrob
sol = solve(prob,IDA())
