ColPrac: Contributor's Guide on Collaborative Practices for Community Packages SciML Code Style

OrdinaryDiffEq.jl is a component package in the DifferentialEquations ecosystem. It holds the ordinary differential equation solvers and utilities. While completely independent and usable on its own, users interested in using this functionality should check out DifferentialEquations.jl.

Installation

Assuming that you already have Julia correctly installed, it suffices to import OrdinaryDiffEq.jl in the standard way:

import Pkg;
Pkg.add("OrdinaryDiffEq");

API

OrdinaryDiffEq.jl is part of the SciML common interface, but can be used independently of DifferentialEquations.jl. The only requirement is that the user passes an OrdinaryDiffEq.jl algorithm to solve. For example, we can solve the ODE tutorial from the docs using the Tsit5() algorithm:

using OrdinaryDiffEq
f(u, p, t) = 1.01 * u
u0 = 1 / 2
tspan = (0.0, 1.0)
prob = ODEProblem(f, u0, tspan)
sol = solve(prob, Tsit5(), reltol = 1e-8, abstol = 1e-8)
using Plots
plot(sol, linewidth = 5, title = "Solution to the linear ODE with a thick line",
    xaxis = "Time (t)", yaxis = "u(t) (in μm)", label = "My Thick Line!") # legend=false
plot!(sol.t, t -> 0.5 * exp(1.01t), lw = 3, ls = :dash, label = "True Solution!")

That example uses the out-of-place syntax f(u,p,t), while the inplace syntax (more efficient for systems of equations) is shown in the Lorenz example:

using OrdinaryDiffEq
function lorenz!(du, u, p, t)
    du[1] = 10.0(u[2] - u[1])
    du[2] = u[1] * (28.0 - u[3]) - u[2]
    du[3] = u[1] * u[2] - (8 / 3) * u[3]
end
u0 = [1.0; 0.0; 0.0]
tspan = (0.0, 100.0)
prob = ODEProblem(lorenz!, u0, tspan)
sol = solve(prob, Tsit5())
using Plots;
plot(sol, idxs = (1, 2, 3));

Very fast static array versions can be specifically compiled to the size of your model. For example:

using OrdinaryDiffEq, StaticArrays
function lorenz(u, p, t)
    SA[10.0(u[2] - u[1]), u[1] * (28.0 - u[3]) - u[2], u[1] * u[2] - (8 / 3) * u[3]]
end
u0 = SA[1.0; 0.0; 0.0]
tspan = (0.0, 100.0)
prob = ODEProblem(lorenz, u0, tspan)
sol = solve(prob, Tsit5())

For "refined ODEs", like dynamical equations and SecondOrderODEProblems, refer to the DiffEqDocs. For example, in DiffEqTutorials.jl we show how to solve equations of motion using symplectic methods:

function HH_acceleration!(dv, v, u, p, t)
    x, y = u
    dx, dy = dv
    dv[1] = -x - 2x * y
    dv[2] = y^2 - y - x^2
end
initial_positions = [0.0, 0.1]
initial_velocities = [0.5, 0.0]
prob = SecondOrderODEProblem(HH_acceleration!, initial_velocities, initial_positions, tspan)
sol2 = solve(prob, KahanLi8(), dt = 1 / 10);

Other refined forms are IMEX and semi-linear ODEs (for exponential integrators).
