Solve delay differential equations (DDEs) with constant delays
Syntax
Arguments
ddefun |
Function handle that evaluates the right side of the differential equations . The function must have the form where |
lags |
Vector of constant, positive delays . |
history |
Specify history in one of three ways: |
tspan |
Interval of integration as a vector [t0,tf] with t0 < tf . |
options |
Optional integration argument. A structure you create using the ddeset function. See ddeset for details. |
Description
sol = dde23(ddefun,lags,history,tspan)
integrates the system of DDEs
on the interval , where are constant, positive delays and . ddefun
is a function handle. See Function Handles in the MATLAB Programming documentation for more information.
Parameterizing Functions Called by Function Functions, in the MATLAB mathematics documentation, explains how to provide additional parameters to the function odefun
, if necessary.
dde23
returns the solution as a structure sol
. Use the auxiliary function deval
and the output sol
to evaluate the solution at specific points tint
in the interval tspan = [t0,tf]
.
The structure sol
returned by dde23
has the following fields.
sol.x |
Mesh selected by dde23 |
sol.y |
Approximation to at the mesh points in sol.x . |
sol.yp |
Approximation to at the mesh points in sol.x |
sol.solver |
Solver name, 'dde23' |
sol = dde23(ddefun,lags,history,tspan,options)
solves as above with default integration properties replaced by values in options
, an argument created with ddeset
. See ddeset
and Initial Value Problems for DDEs in the MATLAB documentation for details.
Commonly used options are scalar relative error tolerance 'RelTol'
(1e-3
by default) and vector of absolute error tolerances 'AbsTol'
(all components are 1e-6
by default).
Use the 'Jumps'
option to solve problems with discontinuities in the history or solution. Set this option to a vector that contains the locations of discontinuities in the solution prior to t0
(the history) or in coefficients of the equations at known values of after t0
.
Use the 'Events'
option to specify a function that dde23
calls to find where functions
vanish. This function must be of the form
and contain an event function for each event to be tested. For the k
th event function in events
:
value(k)
is the value of the k
th event function.
isterminal(k) = 1
if you want the integration to terminate at a zero of this event function and 0
otherwise.
direction(k) = 0
if you want dde23
to compute all zeros of this event function, +1
if only zeros where the event function increases, and -1
if only zeros where the event function decreases.
If you specify the 'Events'
option and events are detected, the output structure sol
also includes fields:
Examples
This example solves a DDE on the interval [0, 5] with lags 1 and 0.2. The function ddex1de
computes the delay differential equations, and ddex1hist
computes the history for t <= 0
.
Note
The demo ddex1 contains the complete code for this example. To see the code in an editor, click the example name, or type edit ddex1 at the command line. To run the example type ddex1 at the command line.
|
This code evaluates the solution at 100 equally spaced points in the interval [0,5]
, then plots the result.
ddex1
shows how you can code this problem using subfunctions. For more examples see ddex2
.
Algorithm
dde23
tracks discontinuities and integrates with the explicit Runge-Kutta (2,3) pair and interpolant of ode23
. It uses iteration to take steps longer than the lags.
