runge_kutta_method

enum TimeStepping::runge_kutta_method

The following Runge-Kutta methods are available:

• Explicit methods (see ExplicitRungeKutta::initialize):
  • FORWARD_EULER (first order)
  • RK_THIRD_ORDER (third order Runge-Kutta)
  • RK_CLASSIC_FOURTH_ORDER (classical fourth order Runge-Kutta)
• Implicit methods (see ImplicitRungeKutta::initialize):
  • BACKWARD_EULER (first order)
  • IMPLICIT_MIDPOINT (second order)
  • CRANK_NICOLSON (second order)
  • SDIRK_TWO_STAGES (second order)
• Embedded explicit methods (see EmbeddedExplicitRungeKutta::initialize):
  • HEUN_EULER (second order)
  • BOGACKI_SHAMPINE (third order)
  • DOPRI: Dormand-Prince (fifth order; this is the method used by ode45 in MATLAB)
  • FEHLBERG (fifth order)
  • CASH_KARP (firth order)

embedded_runge_kutta_time_step

enum TimeStepping::embedded_runge_kutta_time_step

Reason for exiting evolve_one_time_step when using an embedded method: DELTA_T (the time step is in the valid range), MIN_DELTA_T (the time step was increased to the minimum acceptable time step), MAX_DELTA_T (the time step was reduced to the maximum acceptable time step).
