Date: Tue, 17 May 2005 14:33:20 -0700 (PDT) From: Alan Hindmarsh The changes have to do with fixes to bugs that are relatavily minor, which is why I waited till I had several of them before doing this request. In summary, the bugs are: 1) In the interpolation routine (all ODEPACK and VOD* solvers), the roundoff perturbation for testing the input t for legality is replaced with a more robust expression. 2) In the rootfinding routines *RCHEK (in LSODAR, LSODKR, and DASKR), imposed a better minimum on the small t increment used to check for two nearby zeros. 3) In the *ROOTS routines (rootfinding in LSODAR, LSODKR, DASKR), used a more robust algorithm for adjusting the new guess X2 in case it is too close to the endpoints of the current bracketing interval. 4) In LSODKR demo program, corrected uninitialized workspace variables to handle output at tout = 0. 5) Minor modifications in the DASKR package -- in the main driver (rewrote stopping tests), the example and demo programs and their outputs, and in preconditioner files. .
