HI
I am trying to solve a relatively small number of stiff
First order ODE's. To do this I am trying to use
VODE.
Though this program can calculate the Jacobian, the
instructions suggest that, if possible, it is supplied.
Is there any reason why a Jacobian that I supply would
be better than letting the code calculate one itself?
Also, what are the advantages of banding the Jacobian
and why would I want to do this?
Thanks in advance
Jason
