◆ Step()

void mfem::ExplicitRKSolver::Step ( Vector x,
double &  t,
double &  dt 
)
overridevirtual

Perform a time step from time t [in] to time t [out] based on the requested step size dt [in].

Parameters
[in,out]xApproximate solution.
[in,out]tTime associated with the approximate solution x.
[in,out]dtTime step size.

The following rules describe the common behavior of the method:

  • The input x [in] is the approximate solution for the input time t [in].
  • The input dt [in] is the desired time step size, defining the desired target time: t [target] = t [in] + dt [in].
  • The output x [out] is the approximate solution for the output time t [out].
  • The output dt [out] is the last time step taken by the method which may be smaller or larger than the input dt [in] value, e.g. because of time step control.
  • The method may perform more than one time step internally; in this case dt [out] is the last internal time step size.
  • The output value of t [out] may be smaller or larger than t [target], however, it is not smaller than t [in] + dt [out], if at least one internal time step was performed.
  • The value x [out] may be obtained by interpolation using internally stored data.
  • In some cases, the contents of x [in] may not be used, e.g. when x [out] from a previous Step() call was obtained by interpolation.
  • In consecutive calls to this method, the output t [out] of one Step() call has to be the same as the input t [in] to the next Step() call.
  • If the previous rule has to be broken, e.g. to restart a time stepping sequence, then the ODE solver must be re-initialized by calling Init() between the two Step() calls.

Implements mfem::ODESolver.
