CVODES solver to solve ODEs and calculate sensitivities

Usage

cvodes(
  time_vector,
  IC,
  input_function,
  Parameters,
  reltolerance = 1e-04,
  abstolerance = 1e-04,
  SensType = "STG",
  ErrCon = "F"
)

Arguments

time_vector

time vector

IC

Initial Conditions

input_function

Right Hand Side function of ODEs

Parameters

Parameters input to ODEs

reltolerance

Relative Tolerance (a scalar, default value = 1e-04)

abstolerance

Absolute Tolerance (a scalar or vector with length equal to ydot, default = 1e-04)

SensType

Sensitivity Type - allowed values are "STG" (for Staggered, default) or "SIM" (for Simultaneous)

ErrCon

Error Control - allowed values are TRUE or FALSE (default)

Value

A data frame. First column is the time-vector, the next y * p columns are sensitivities of y1 w.r.t all parameters, then y2 w.r.t all parameters etc. y is the state vector, p is the parameter vector

Examples

# Example of solving a set sensitivity equations for ODEs with cvodes function
# ODEs described by an R function
ODE_R <- function(t, y, p){

  # vector containing the right hand side gradients
  ydot = vector(mode = "numeric", length = length(y))

  # R indices start from 1
  ydot[1] = -p[1]*y[1] + p[2]*y[2]*y[3]
  ydot[2] = p[1]*y[1] - p[2]*y[2]*y[3] - p[3]*y[2]*y[2]
  ydot[3] = p[3]*y[2]*y[2]

  # ydot[1] = -0.04 * y[1] + 10000 * y[2] * y[3]
  # ydot[3] = 30000000 * y[2] * y[2]
  # ydot[2] = -ydot[1] - ydot[3]

  ydot

}

# ODEs can also be described using Rcpp
Rcpp::sourceCpp(code = '

                #include <Rcpp.h>
                using namespace Rcpp;

                // ODE functions defined using Rcpp
                // [[Rcpp::export]]
                NumericVector ODE_Rcpp (double t, NumericVector y, NumericVector p){

                // Initialize ydot filled with zeros
                NumericVector ydot(y.length());

                ydot[0] = -p[0]*y[0] + p[1]*y[1]*y[2];
                ydot[1] = p[0]*y[0] - p[1]*y[1]*y[2] - p[2]*y[1]*y[1];
                ydot[2] = p[2]*y[1]*y[1];

                return ydot;

                }')
