matlab.ode.options.ODE23 Properties
matlab.ode.options.ODE23
objects are used with ode
objects to
specify options for the solution of ordinary differential equations. ode
objects automatically populate the SolverOptions
property with an options object specific to the selected
solver, so you generally do not need to create matlab.ode.options.ODE23
objects
explicitly.
Specify options for the ODE problem by changing property values of the
matlab.ode.options.ODE23
object using dot notation. For example, if
F
is an ode
object, then
F.SolverOptions.OutputFcn = @odeplot
specifies an output function
that the solver calls after each successful time step.
Step Size
InitialStep
— Suggested initial step size
positive scalar
Suggested initial step size, specified as a positive scalar. InitialStep
sets an upper bound on the size of the first step that the solver tries.
If you do not specify an initial step size, then the solver bases the initial step size on the
slope of the solution at the initial time point of the integration. If the slope of all
solution components is zero, then the solver might try a step size that is too large. If
you know that the initial step size is too large, or if you want to be sure that the
solver resolves important behavior at the beginning of the integration, then use
InitialStep
to provide a suitable initial step size.
Example: F.SolverOptions.InitialStep = 1e-3
, where F
is an ode
object, sets an upper bound of 1e-3
on the size of the initial step.
MaxStep
— Maximum step size
0.1*abs(t0-tf)
(default) | positive scalar
Maximum step size, specified as a positive scalar. MaxStep
sets an upper
bound on the size of any step that the solver takes. If the equation has periodic
behavior, for example, then you can set MaxStep
to a fraction of
the period so that the solver does not step over an area of interest.
Do not use
MaxStep
just to obtain more output points, as it can significantly slow down the integration. Instead, use theRefine
option of thesolve
method to compute additional points at low computational cost.Do not use
MaxStep
to increase the accuracy of the solution. If the solution is not accurate enough, then reduce the value ofRelativeTolerance
and use the solution to determine a suitable value forAbsoluteTolerance
.Avoid using
MaxStep
to make sure the solver does not step over some behavior that occurs only once in the integration interval. If you know the time at which the behavior occurs, then break the interval into two pieces and solve each separately. If you do not know the time at which the change occurs, try reducingRelativeTolerance
andAbsoluteTolerance
. UseMaxStep
only as a last resort in this case.
Example: F.SolverOptions.MaxStep = 1e-2
, where F
is an
ode
object, sets a limit of 1e-2
on the step
size.
MinStep
— Minimum step size
positive scalar
Since R2024b
Minimum step size, specified as a positive scalar. MinStep
sets a
lower bound on the size of any step taken by the solver. MinStep
must
be less than MaxStep
.
Solver steps are limited by floating-point precision regardless of the value of
MinStep
.
Example: F.SolverOptions.MinStep = 1e-10
, where F
is an ode
object, sets a lower limit of 1e-10
on the
step size.
Error Control
NormControl
— Control error relative to norm
"off"
(default) | "on"
Control error relative to the norm of the solution, specified as "off"
or
"on"
. If NormControl
is
"on"
, then the solver controls the error e
at
each step using the norm of the solution y
rather than its absolute
value:
norm(e(i)) <= max(RelativeTolerance*norm(y(i)),AbsoluteTolerance(i))
Example: F.SolverOptions.NormControl = "on"
, where F
is an ode
object, controls step error using the norm of the solution.
Solver Output
OutputFcn
— Output function
[]
(default) | function handle
Output function, specified as a function handle. solve
calls the output function after each successful time step. If you use solutionFcn
to solve the ODE problem, then
OutputFcn
is ignored.
This table describes the built-in output functions that you can use with
OutputFcn
.
Function Name | Description |
---|---|
odeplot | Plot all components of the solution against time. |
odephas2 | Create 2-D phase plane plot of the first two solution components. |
odephas3 | Create 3-D phase plane plot of the first three solution components. |
odeprint | Print solution and time step to Command Window. |
If you write a custom output function, then it must use this function signature:
status = myOutputFcn(t,y,flag)
The output function you write must also respond appropriately to these flags.
Flag | Description |
---|---|
"init" | The solver calls |
[] | The solver calls
|
"done" | The solver calls |
Example: F.SolverOptions.OutputFcn = @odeplot
, where
F
is an ode
object, specifies
odeplot
as the output function that the solver calls after each
successful time step.
Data Types: function_handle
OutputSelection
— Component selection for output function
vector of indices
Component selection for the output function, specified as a vector of indices. The
vector specifies which components of the solution to pass to the output function. The
number of solution components is equal to the number of elements in the vector output of
the ODE function (which is stored in the ODEFcn
property of the
ode
object).
Example: F.SolverOptions.OutputSelection = [1 3]
, where
F
is an ode
object, passes the first and third
components of the solution to the output function.
Version History
Introduced in R2023bR2024b: Specify minimum step size
You can specify the minimum step size as a solver option by using the
MinStep
name-value argument.
