Detailed Description

Integrate a set of ordinary differential equations (initial value problem) in time.

Given a vtkFunctionSet which returns dF_i(x_j, t)/dt given x_j and t, vtkInitialValueProblemSolver computes the value of F_i at t+deltat.

Warning:
vtkInitialValueProblemSolver and it's subclasses are not thread-safe. You should create a new integrator for each thread.

virtual const char* vtkInitialValueProblemSolver::GetClassName (  )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkRungeKutta2, vtkRungeKutta4, and vtkRungeKutta45.

static int vtkInitialValueProblemSolver::IsTypeOf ( const char *  name  )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkInitialValueProblemSolver::IsA ( const char *  name  )  [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkRungeKutta2, vtkRungeKutta4, and vtkRungeKutta45.

static vtkInitialValueProblemSolver* vtkInitialValueProblemSolver::SafeDownCast ( vtkObject o  )  [static]

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtkRungeKutta2, vtkRungeKutta4, and vtkRungeKutta45.

virtual void vtkInitialValueProblemSolver::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent 
) [virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented in vtkRungeKutta4, and vtkRungeKutta45.

virtual int vtkInitialValueProblemSolver::ComputeNextStep ( double *  xprev,
double *  xnext,
double  t,
double &  delT,
double  maxError,
double &  error 
) [inline, virtual]

Given initial values, xprev , initial time, t and a requested time interval, delT calculate values of x at t+delTActual (xnext). For certain concrete sub-classes delTActual != delT. This occurs when the solver supports adaptive stepsize control. If this is the case, the solver 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. Also note that delT is an in/out argument. Adaptive solvers 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. Note that only some concrete sub-classes support this. Otherwise, the error is set to 0. This method returns an error code representing the nature of the failure: OutOfDomain = 1, NotInitialized = 2, UnexpectedValue = 3

Given initial values, xprev , initial time, t and a requested time interval, delT calculate values of x at t+delTActual (xnext). For certain concrete sub-classes delTActual != delT.
