Description

The Runge-Kutta Fehlberg 78 method is a standard method for high-precision applications. The method is explicit and fulfills the Error Stepper concept. Step size control is provided but continuous output is not available for this method.

This class derives from explicit_error_stepper_base and inherits its interface via CRTP (current recurring template pattern). Furthermore, it derivs from explicit_error_generic_rk which is a generic Runge-Kutta algorithm with error estimation. For more details see explicit_error_stepper_base and explicit_error_generic_rk.

Template Parameters

  1. typename State

    The state type.

  2. typename Value = double

    The value type.

  3. typename Deriv = State

    The type representing the time derivative of the state.

  4. typename Time = Value

    The time representing the independent variable - the time.

  5. typename Algebra = typename algebra_dispatcher< State >::algebra_type

    The algebra type.

  6. typename Operations = typename operations_dispatcher< State >::operations_type

    The operations type.

  7. typename Resizer = initially_resizer

    The resizer policy type.

runge_kutta_fehlberg78 public construct/copy/destruct

  1. runge_kutta_fehlberg78(const algebra_type & algebra = algebra_type());
    Constructs the runge_kutta_cash_fehlberg78 class. This constructor can be used as a default constructor if the algebra has a default constructor.

    Parameters:

    algebra

    A copy of algebra is made and stored inside explicit_stepper_base.

runge_kutta_fehlberg78 public member functions

  1. template<typename System, typename StateIn, typename DerivIn, 
             typename StateOut, typename Err> 
      void do_step_impl(System system, const StateIn & in, const DerivIn & dxdt, 
                        time_type t, StateOut & out, time_type dt, Err & xerr);
  2. template<typename System, typename StateIn, typename DerivIn, 
             typename StateOut> 
      void do_step_impl(System system, const StateIn & in, const DerivIn & dxdt, 
                        time_type t, StateOut & out, time_type dt);
  3. template<typename StateIn> void adjust_size(const StateIn & x);
    Adjust the size of all temporaries in the stepper manually.

    Parameters:

    x

    A state from which the size of the temporaries to be resized is deduced.
