CVODE is a package written in C for solving initial value problems for ordinary di erential equations. It provides the capabilities of two older Fortran packages, VODE and VODPK. CVODE solves both sti and nonsti systems, using variable-coe cient Adams and BDF methods. In the sti case, options for treating the Jacobian of the system include dense and band matrix solvers, and a preconditioned Krylov (iterative) solver. In the highly modular organization of CVODE, the core integrator module is…
