has characteristic uses LSODE 2007-11-16 citeulike:1774586 http://identifiers.org/doi/10.1145/1218052.1218054 LSODE solves stiff and nonstiff systems of the form dy/dt = f. In the stiff case, it treats the Jacobian matrix sf/dy as either a dense (full) or a banded matrix, and as either user-supplied or internally approximated by difference quotients. It uses Adams methods (predictor-corrector) [http://identifiers.org/biomodels.kisao/KISAO_0000364] in the nonstiff case, and Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF) methods (the Gear methods) [http://identifiers.org/biomodels.kisao/KISAO_0000288] in the stiff case.
