LSODA.jl

Introduction

LSODA.jl is a Julia package that interfaces to the liblsoda library, developed by Simon Frost (@sdwfrost), thereby providing a way to use the LSODA algorithm from Linda Petzold and Alan Hindmarsh from Julia. Clang.jl has been used to write the library and Sundials.jl was a inspiring source.

Installation

To install this package, run the command add LSODA.

Simplified Functions

To solve an ODE, one can call the simplified solver:

function rhs!(t, x, ydot, data)
	ydot[1]=1.0E4 * x[2] * x[3] - .04E0 * x[1]
	ydot[3]=3.0E7 * x[2] * x[2]
	ydot[2]=-ydot[1] - ydot[3]
  nothing
end

y0 = [1.,0.,0.]
tspan = [0., 0.4]
res =  lsoda(rhs!, y0, tspan, reltol= 1e-4, abstol = Vector([1.e-6,1.e-10,1.e-6]))

To reproduce the test example from liblsoda, on can use:

lsoda_0(rhs!, y0, tspan, reltol= 1e-4, abstol = Vector([1.e-6,1.e-10,1.e-6]))

This should give the following.

at t =   4.0000e-01 y=   9.851712e-01   3.386380e-05   1.479493e-02

at t =   4.0000e+09 y=   4.658945e-07   1.863579e-12   9.999995e-01

JuliaDiffEq Common Interface

The functionality of LSODA.jl can be accessed through the JuliaDiffEq common interface. To do this, you build a problem object for like:

using LSODA, DiffEqBase
function rhs!(du, u, p, t)
    du[1]=1.0E4 * u[2] * u[3] - .04E0 * u[1]
    du[3]=3.0E7 * u[2] * u[2]
    du[2]=-du[1] - du[3]
  nothing
end

y0 = [1.,0.,0.]
tspan = (0., 0.4)
prob = ODEProblem(rhs!,y0,tspan)

This problem is solved by LSODA by using the lsoda() algorithm in the common solve command as follows:

sol = solve(prob,lsoda())

Many keyword arguments can be used to control the solver, its tolerances, and its output formats. For more information, please see the DifferentialEquations.jl documentation.
