Detailed Description

Abstract OdeSystem class.

Sets up variables and functions for a general ODE system.

ODE systems are specified primarily by the EvaluateYDerivatives() method, which calculates the right-hand side of the system.

Instances can store their state internally in the mStateVariables vector in our base class AbstractParameterisedSystem (see also GetNumberOfStateVariables(), SetStateVariables() and rGetStateVariables()), although this is not essential - the vector may be empty, in which case AbstractIvpOdeSolver::SolveAndUpdateStateVariable may not be used to solve the system.

ODE systems may also have a vector of parameters, which can be accessed through the GetParameter() and SetParameter() methods of our base class.

Information about what the parameters and state variables represent is provided by a subclass of AbstractOdeSystemInformation. Various wrapper methods (e.g. rGetStateVariableNames()) are provided in our base class to access this information.

There are two more advanced facilities available for subclass authors. An analytic form for the Jacobian matrix of the system may be provided, in which case you must subclass AbstractOdeSystemWithAnalyticJacobian. The GetUseAnalyticJacobian() method will test whether this is the case.

Also, subclasses may define a condition at which ODE solvers should stop prematurely. For the Chaste solvers this is done by overriding CalculateStoppingEvent(); if the more advanced CVODE solvers are being used then implement CalculateRootFunction() instead to detect the stopping time more accurately.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AbstractOdeSystem::AbstractOdeSystem ( unsigned  numberOfStateVariables  ) 

Constructor.

Parameters:
numberOfStateVariables the number of state variables in the ODE system

Definition at line 32 of file AbstractOdeSystem.cpp.

AbstractOdeSystem::~AbstractOdeSystem (  )  [virtual]

Virtual destructor since we have virtual methods.

double AbstractOdeSystem::CalculateRootFunction ( double  time,
const std::vector< double > &  rY 
) [virtual]

An alternative approach to stopping events; currently only useful with CVODE. CVODE can search for roots (zeros) of this function while solving the ODE system, and home in on them to find sign transitions to high precision.

The default implementation here fakes a root function using CalculateStoppingEvent.

Parameters:
time the current time
rY the current values of the state variables

Reimplemented in TysonNovak2001OdeSystem, VanLeeuwen2009WntSwatCellCycleOdeSystem, and WntCellCycleOdeSystem.

Definition at line 47 of file AbstractOdeSystem.cpp.

References CalculateStoppingEvent().

bool AbstractOdeSystem::CalculateStoppingEvent ( double  time,
const std::vector< double > &  rY 
) [virtual]

CalculateStoppingEvent() - can be overloaded if the ODE is to be solved only until a particular event (for example, only until the y value becomes negative.

After each timestep the solver will call this method on the ODE to see if it should stop there. By default, false is returned here.

Parameters:
time the current time
rY the current values of the state variables

Reimplemented in Alarcon2004OxygenBasedCellCycleOdeSystem, TysonNovak2001OdeSystem, VanLeeuwen2009WntSwatCellCycleOdeSystem, and WntCellCycleOdeSystem.
