scipy.integrate.odeint(func, y0, t, args=(), Dfun=None, col_deriv=0, full_output=0, ml=None, mu=None, rtol=None, atol=None, tcrit=None, h0=0.0, hmax=0.0, hmin=0.0, ixpr=0, mxstep=0, mxhnil=0, mxordn=12, mxords=5, printmessg=0)

Integrate a system of ordinary differential equations.

Solve a system of ordinary differential equations using lsoda from the FORTRAN library odepack.

Solves the initial value problem for stiff or non-stiff systems of first order ode-s:

dy/dt = func(y,t0,...)

where y can be a vector.

Parameters:

func : callable(y, t0, ...)

Computes the derivative of y at t0.

y0 : array

Initial condition on y (can be a vector).

t : array

A sequence of time points for which to solve for y. The initial value point should be the first element of this sequence.

args : tuple

Extra arguments to pass to function.

Dfun : callable(y, t0, ...)

Gradient (Jacobian) of func.

col_deriv : boolean

True if Dfun defines derivatives down columns (faster), otherwise Dfun should define derivatives across rows.

full_output : boolean

True if to return a dictionary of optional outputs as the second output

printmessg : boolean

Whether to print the convergence message

Returns:

y : array, shape (len(y0), len(t))

Array containing the value of y for each desired time in t, with the initial value y0 in the first row.

infodict : dict, only returned if full_output == True

Dictionary containing additional output information

meaning
