scipy_dae - solving differential algebraic equations (DAE's) and implicit differential equations (IDE's) in Python

Python implementation of solvers for differential algebraic equations (DAE's) and implicit differential equations (IDE's) that should be added to scipy one day. See the GitHub repository.

Currently, two different methods are implemented.

• Implicit Radau IIA methods of order 2s - 1 with arbitrary number of odd stages.
• Implicit backward differentiation formula (BDF) of variable order with quasi-constant step-size and stability/ accuracy enhancement using numerical differentiation formula (NDF).

More information about both methods are given in the specific class documentation.

To pique your curiosity

The Kármán vortex street solved by a finite element discretization of the weak form of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using FEniCS and the three stage Radau IIA method.

Basic usage

The Robertson problem of semi-stable chemical reaction is a simple system of differential algebraic equations of index 1. It demonstrates the basic usage of the package.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy_dae.integrate import solve_dae


def F(t, y, yp):
    """Define implicit system of differential algebraic equations."""
    y1, y2, y3 = y
    y1p, y2p, y3p = yp

    F = np.zeros(3, dtype=y.dtype)
    F[0] = y1p - (-0.04 * y1 + 1e4 * y2 * y3)
    F[1] = y2p - (0.04 * y1 - 1e4 * y2 * y3 - 3e7 * y2**2)
    F[2] = y1 + y2 + y3 - 1 # algebraic equation

    return F


# time span
t0 = 0
t1 = 1e7
t_span = (t0, t1)
t_eval = np.logspace(-6, 7, num=1000)

# initial conditions
y0 = np.array([1, 0, 0], dtype=float)
yp0 = np.array([-0.04, 0.04, 0], dtype=float)

# solver options
method = "Radau"
# method = "BDF" # alternative solver
atol = rtol = 1e-6

# solve DAE system
sol = solve_dae(F, t_span, y0, yp0, atol=atol, rtol=rtol, method=method, t_eval=t_eval)
t = sol.t
y = sol.y

# visualization
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_xlabel("t")
ax.plot(t, y[0], label="y1")
ax.plot(t, y[1] * 1e4, label="y2 * 1e4")
ax.plot(t, y[2], label="y3")
ax.set_xscale("log")
ax.legend()
ax.grid()
plt.show()
