Detailed Description

Integrate an initial value problem using 5th order Runge-Kutta method with adaptive stepsize control.

This is a concrete sub-class of vtkInitialValueProblemSolver. It uses a 5th order Runge-Kutta method with stepsize control to obtain the values of a set of functions at the next time step. The stepsize is adjusted by calculating an estimated error using an embedded 4th order Runge-Kutta formula: Press, W. H. et al., 1992, Numerical Recipes in Fortran, Second Edition, Cambridge University Press Cash, J.R. and Karp, A.H. 1990, ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, vol 16, pp 201-222

[inline, virtual]
 

Given initial values, xprev , initial time, t and a requested time interval, delT calculate values of x at t+delTActual (xnext). Possibly delTActual != delT. This may occur because this solver supports adaptive stepsize control. It tries to change to stepsize such that the (estimated) error of the integration is less than maxError. The solver will not set the stepsize smaller than minStep or larger than maxStep (note that maxStep and minStep should both be positive, whereas delT can be negative). Also note that delT is an in/out argument. vtkRungeKutta45 will modify delT to reflect the best (estimated) size for the next integration step. An estimated value for the error is returned (by reference) in error. This is the norm of the error vector if there are more than one function to be integrated. This method returns an error code representing the nature of the failure: OutOfDomain = 1, NotInitialized = 2, UnexpectedValue = 3
