+# The `pst-ode` PSTricks package
+
+© 2012--`\today` Alexander Grahn
+
+https://github.com/agrahn/pst-ode
+
+This package defines `\pstODEsolve` for solving initial value problems for sets of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (**`RKF45`**) method with automatic step size adjustment.
+
+`\pstODEsolve[<options>]{<result>}{<output format>}{`*t*<sub>0</sub>`}{`*t*<sub>e</sub>`}{`*N*`}{`**x**<sub>0</sub>`}{`**f**`(`*t*`, `**x**`)}`
+
+The state vectors **x** found at *N* equally spaced output points between *t*<sub>0</sub> and *t*<sub>e</sub>  are stored in the PostScript object `<result>`,  formatted according to the second argument `<output format>`, as a long list of values. `<output format>` lists the quantities to be stored in `<result>`. The user can select from the elements of **x** and the integration parameter *t*.
+
+The initial condition vector **x**<sub>0</sub> and the right-hand side **f**`(`*t*`, `**x**`)` of the ODE system can be input in algebraic notation, if desired. RPN (Postfix) notation of PostScript can as well be used.
+
+`<result>` can be directly used as the `<data>` argument of `\listplot{<data>}` (package `pst-plot`) or `\listplotThreeD{<data>}` (package `pst-3dplot`).

 Package \LPack{pst-ode} uses the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF45) method with automatic step size control for integrating the differential equations. Thus, the precision of the result does not depend on the number of plot points specified, as it would be the case with the classical Runge-Kutta (RK4) method.

 \section{Introduction}
 An initial value problem involves finding the solution $\mathbf{x}(t)$ of a set of first order differential equations
 \begin{equation}
-	\frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{x}}{\mathrm{d}t}=\mathbf{f}(t,\mathbf{x})
+    \frac{\mathrm{d}\mathbf{x}}{\mathrm{d}t}=\mathbf{f}(t,\mathbf{x})
 \end{equation}
 by integrating them with respect to the independent variable $t$ starting at $t_0$ up to $t_\mathrm{e}$. If the set consists of $n$ differential equations,
 a vector of initial conditions
 \begin{equation}
-	\mathbf{x}(t_0)=\mathbf{x}_0
+    \mathbf{x}(t_0)=\mathbf{x}_0
 \end{equation}
 of the same length $n$ is required. For $n=1$ the initial value problem is one-dimensional:
 \begin{gather}
-	\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}t}=f(t,x)\quad\text{for}\ t \in [t_0, t_\mathrm{e}]\text{, where}\label{eq:1dode}\\
-	x(t_0) = x_0.\label{eq:1ini}

+    x(t_0) = x_0.\label{eq:1ini}
 \end{gather}
 
 Instead of producing analytical expressions of the solution functions $\mathbf{x}(t)$, the numerical method gives only approximate values $\mathbf{x}_i$ at $N$ discrete points $t_i$ of the integration interval $I=[t_0, t_\mathrm{e}]$:

-The first mandatory argument \Larg{result} is a simple identifier composed of letters and possibly numbers. It is used to create a \PS{} object of the same name, which takes the computed state vectors $\mathbf{x}_i$, formatted according to the second argument \Larg{output format}, as a long list of values. \Larg{result} can be directly used as the \Larg{data} argument of \Lcs{listplot}\Largb{data} (package \LPack{pst-plot}) or \Lcs{listplotThreeD}\Largb{data} (package \LPack{pst-3dplot}). When put on the \PS{} operand stack, \Larg{result} is immediately executed, that is, the list of values contained in \Larg{result} is pushed onto the operand stack. The scope of \Larg{result} is global and thus its content survives page breaks.

 The second argument \Larg{output format} determines which of the components of the state vectors $\mathbf{x}_i$ and possibly the independent variable $t$ are stored into \Larg{result}. \Larg{output format} can be specified in two different formats, depending on the setting of the command option \Lkeyword{algebraicOutputFormat}.
 If \Lkeyword{algebraicOutputFormat} is set, calculations can be made on the components of the computed state vectors before writing them to \Larg{result}. Without option \Lkeyword{algebraicOutputFormat} the following applies: The keyword \Lkeyword{(t)} (parentheses required) inserts the integration parameter value $t_i$ into the result list; numbers (\Lkeyword{0}, \Lkeyword{1}, \Lkeyword{2}, \dots, $n-1$) in arbitrary order specify the components of vector $\mathbf{x}_i$ to be inserted, as well as their order of insertion. The elements of \Larg{output format} are to be separated by spaces. If option \Lkeyword{algebraicOutputFormat} is set, \Larg{output format} is a \Lkeyword{|}-separated list of algebraic expressions (infix notation) according to which the components of the output vector are to be calculated. In these algebraic expressions, the $n$ current state vector components can be referred to as \Lkeyword{x[0]}, \Lkeyword{x[1]}, \dots, \Lkeyword{x[}$n-1$\Lkeyword{]} or \Lkeyword{y[0]}, \Lkeyword{y[1]}, \dots, \Lkeyword{y[}$n-1$\Lkeyword{]}, and the current independent variable value as `\Lkeyword{t}'. In either case, there is no upper limit of the output vector length. It must have at least one element though.

 $N$ is the number of \emph{equally} spaced output points, including $t_0$ and $t_\mathrm{e}$; it must be $\ge 2$. In order to divide the interval of integration into $K$ output steps, $N$ must be set to $K+1$. Note that the precision of the solution does \emph{not} depend on $N$; internal integration steps are automatically inserted and resized according to the changes in the solution.
 
-$\mathbf{x}_0$ is a list of $n$ space separated initial values, one for each differential equation. Alternatively, $\mathbf{x}_0$ can be given as a \PS{} procedure pushing the initial values on the stack, or as an algebraic expression in infix notation where the elements are separated by `\Lkeyword{|}'. Infix notation requires option \Lkeyword{algebraicIC}. This argument can be left empty. In that case, the last computed state vector of a preceding \Lcs{pstODEsolve} call or a state vector that was set using the \Lcs{pstODEsetOrRestoreState} macro is used as initial condition. Of course, the number of equations $n$ must be the same as in the preceding calculation.

-With \Lkeyword{append}, the computed result is appended to \Larg{result} which must already exist, e.\, g. from a previous use of \Lcs{pstODEsolve}.

With option \Lkeyword{dt0}, an arbitrary value of the initial step size can be specified.\\

Default is to not use algebraic infix expressions. For details, see the description of \Larg{output format} above.
+\noindent\OptArg*{append}\\
+If the initial condition argument $\mathbf{x}_0$ of \Lcs{pstODEsolve} is left empty, integration of an ODE continues from an already existing state, which was obtained by the most recent use of \Lcs{pstODEsolve} or which was re-instated from a previously saved state (\Lcs{pstODEsaveState}) by calling \Lcs{pstODErestoreState}. Keyword \Lkeyword{append} tells \Lcs{pstODEsolve} to append the computed result to \Larg{result} which must already exist.\\
