Dormand-Prince

 PDF version of the documentation Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Explicit Runge-Kutta scheme known as the Dormand-Prince routine, which is 5th order/4th order, a 7-stage method that can solve for an ODE.  It also features stiffness detection and event location. Could only be used for solving ODE with non-stiff systems.

 

Currently Dormand-Prince method is the default method for solving ODE in MATLAB.
