TOM: Solve two-point boundary value problems for ODEs using the Top Order Method of order 2 and 6. Nonlinear problems are solved using quasilinearization. Mesh selection is based on the conditioning of the discrete linear problems. [1,2,3,4,5,6].
The code TOM consists of four files:
- tom.m contains the functions that implement the integration procedure;
- tominit.m Form the initial guess for TOM.
- tomget.m Get TOM OPTIONS parameters.
- tomset.m Set TOM OPTIONS parameters.
If you retrieve the software, please send a message to mazzia@dm.uniba.it so that we may keep you updated on any changes. Also any bug reports are appreciated.
The code has been tested on many difficult stiff test problems. For example, those contained in the Cash's home page.
Read also the slides of SCICADE 03 for more information about the mesh selection strategy used in TOM.
