A Stiff ODE Page

This page shows how to classify and solve stiff ordinary differential equations (ODE's).

  • Reasons for using Stiff Solvers
  • How to recognize stiff ODEs Tutorial
  • How to solve stiff ODEs using MATLAB
  • How to obtain stiff ODE solvers

    • Getting ODE Tools

    Stiff ODE solvers may be downloaded as a zip archive or a tar archive.
    The ODE solving tools considered here are for use in MATLAB v4.0 or greater.
    Install the odesuite into the directory from which you will be running your MATLAB scripts and functions.

    (For where to get software for decompression of the above archives go to compression.)

    You may also find a number of other interesting tools and utilities at www.mathworks.com/contsoft.html.
