Numerical Integration
Goal
Provide a reliable workflow to select integrators, set tolerances, and manage adaptive time stepping for time-dependent simulations.
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- NumPy (for some scripts)
- No heavy dependencies for core functionality
Inputs to Gather
| Input | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Problem type | ODE/PDE, stiff/non-stiff | stiff PDE |
| Jacobian available | Can compute âf/âu? | yes |
| Target accuracy | Desired error level | 1e-6 |
| Constraints | Memory, implicit allowed? | implicit OK |
| Time scale | Characteristic time | 1e-3 s |
Decision Guidance
Choosing an Integrator
Is the problem stiff?
âââ YES â Is Jacobian available?
â âââ YES â Use Rosenbrock or BDF
â âââ NO â Use BDF with numerical Jacobian
âââ NO â Is high accuracy needed?
âââ YES â Use RK45 or DOP853
âââ NO â Use RK4 or Adams-Bashforth
Stiff vs Non-Stiff Detection
| Symptom | Likely Stiff | Action |
|---|---|---|
| dt shrinks to tiny values | Yes | Switch to implicit |
| Eigenvalues span many decades | Yes | Use BDF/Radau |
| Smooth solution, reasonable dt | No | Stay explicit |
Script Outputs (JSON Fields)
| Script | Key Outputs |
|---|---|
scripts/error_norm.py |
error_norm, scale_min, scale_max |
scripts/adaptive_step_controller.py |
accept, dt_next, factor |
scripts/integrator_selector.py |
recommended, alternatives, notes |
scripts/imex_split_planner.py |
implicit_terms, explicit_terms, splitting_strategy |
scripts/splitting_error_estimator.py |
error_estimate, substeps |
Workflow
- Classify stiffness – Check eigenvalue spread or use stiffness_detector
- Choose tolerances – See
references/tolerance_guidelines.md - Select integrator – Run
scripts/integrator_selector.py - Compute error norms – Use
scripts/error_norm.pyfor step acceptance - Adapt step size – Use
scripts/adaptive_step_controller.py - Plan IMEX/splitting – If mixed stiff/nonstiff, use
scripts/imex_split_planner.py - Validate convergence – Repeat with tighter tolerances
Conversational Workflow Example
User: I’m solving the Allen-Cahn equation with a stiff double-well potential. What integrator should I use?
Agent workflow:
- Check integrator options:
python3 scripts/integrator_selector.py --stiff --jacobian-available --accuracy high --json - Plan the IMEX splitting (diffusion implicit, reaction explicit):
python3 scripts/imex_split_planner.py --stiff-terms diffusion --nonstiff-terms reaction --coupling weak --json - Recommend: Use IMEX-BDF2 with diffusion term implicit, double-well reaction explicit.
Pre-Integration Checklist
- Identify stiffness and dominant time scales
- Set
rtol/atolconsistent with physics and units - Confirm integrator compatibility with stiffness
- Use error norm to accept/reject steps
- Verify convergence with tighter tolerance run
CLI Examples
# Select integrator for stiff problem with Jacobian
python3 scripts/integrator_selector.py --stiff --jacobian-available --accuracy high --json
# Compute scaled error norm
python3 scripts/error_norm.py --error 0.01,0.02 --solution 1.0,2.0 --rtol 1e-3 --atol 1e-6 --json
# Adaptive step control with PI controller
python3 scripts/adaptive_step_controller.py --dt 1e-2 --error-norm 0.8 --order 4 --controller pi --json
# Plan IMEX splitting
python3 scripts/imex_split_planner.py --stiff-terms diffusion,elastic --nonstiff-terms reaction --coupling strong --json
# Estimate splitting error
python3 scripts/splitting_error_estimator.py --dt 1e-4 --scheme strang --commutator-norm 50 --target-error 1e-6 --json
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
rtol and atol must be positive |
Invalid tolerances | Use positive values |
error-norm must be positive |
Negative error norm | Check error computation |
Unknown controller |
Invalid controller type | Use i, pi, or pid |
Splitting requires at least one term |
Empty term list | Specify stiff or nonstiff terms |
Interpretation Guidance
Error Norm Values
| Error Norm | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| < 1.0 | Step acceptable | Accept, maybe increase dt |
| â 1.0 | At tolerance boundary | Accept with current dt |
| > 1.0 | Step rejected | Reject, reduce dt |
Controller Selection
| Controller | Properties | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| I (integral) | Simple, some overshoot | Non-stiff, moderate accuracy |
| PI (proportional-integral) | Smooth, robust | General use |
| PID | Aggressive adaptation | Rapidly varying dynamics |
IMEX Strategy
| Coupling | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Weak | Simple operator splitting |
| Moderate | Strang splitting |
| Strong | Fully coupled IMEX-RK |
Limitations
- No automatic stiffness detection: Use stiffness_detector from numerical-stability
- Splitting assumes separability: Terms must be cleanly separable
- Jacobian requirement: Some methods need analytical or numerical Jacobian
