RadauIntegrator< T, num_stages > Class Template Referencefinal

Detailed Description

template<typename T, int num_stages = 2>
class drake::systems::RadauIntegrator< T, num_stages >

A selectable order (third- or first-order), fully implicit integrator with error estimation.

Template Parameters
TThe scalar type, which must be one of the default nonsymbolic scalars.
num_stagesThe number of stages used in this integrator, which must be either 1 or 2. Set this to 1 for the integrator to be implicit Euler and 2 for it to Radau3 (default).

A two-stage Radau IIa (see [Hairer, 1996], Ch. 5) method is used for propagating the state forward, by default. The state can also be propagated using a single-stage method, in which case it is equivalent to an implicit Euler method, by setting num_stages=1. Regardless of the order of propagating state, the local (truncation) error is estimated through the implicit trapezoid rule.

Radau IIa methods are known to be L-Stable, meaning both that applying it at a fixed integration step to the "test" equation y(t) = eᵏᵗ yields zero (for k < 0 and t → ∞) and that it is also A-Stable. A-Stability, in turn, means that the method can integrate the linear constant coefficient system dx/dt = Ax at any step size without the solution becoming unstable (growing without bound). The practical effect of L-Stability is that the integrator tends to be stable for any given step size on an arbitrary system of ordinary differential equations. Note that the implicit trapezoid rule used for error estimation is "only" A-Stable; whether this lesser stability has some practical effect on the efficiency of this integrator is currently unknown. See [Lambert, 1991], Ch. 6 for an approachable discussion on stiff differential equations and L- and A-Stability.

This implementation uses Newton-Raphson (NR). General implementation details were taken from [Hairer, 1996] Ch. 8.

Note
This integrator uses the integrator accuracy setting, even when run in fixed-step mode, to limit the error in the underlying Newton-Raphson process. See IntegratorBase::set_target_accuracy() for more info.

This integrator uses embedded second order methods to compute estimates of the local truncation error.

The order of the asymptotic difference between the third-order Radau method and an embedded second order method is O(h³). The order of the asymptotic difference between the first-order Radau method and an embedded second order method is O(h²).
