Solving initial value problems for ODE systems

The solvers are implemented as individual classes, which can be used directly (low-level usage) or through a convenience function.

solve_ivp(fun, t_span, y0[, method, t_eval, ...])	Solve an initial value problem for a system of ODEs.
RK23(fun, t0, y0, t_bound[, max_step, rtol, ...])	Explicit Runge-Kutta method of order 3(2).
RK45(fun, t0, y0, t_bound[, max_step, rtol, ...])	Explicit Runge-Kutta method of order 5(4).

Old API

These are the routines developed earlier for SciPy. They wrap older solvers implemented in Fortran (mostly ODEPACK). While the interface to them is not particularly convenient and certain features are missing compared to the new API, the solvers themselves are of good quality and work fast as compiled Fortran code. In some cases, it might be worth using this old API.

odeint(func, y0, t[, args, Dfun, col_deriv, ...])	Integrate a system of ordinary differential equations.
ode(f[, jac])	A generic interface class to numeric integrators.
complex_ode(f[, jac])	A wrapper of ode for complex systems.

Solving boundary value problems for ODE systems

solve_bvp(fun, bc, x, y[, p, S, fun_jac, ...])

Solve a boundary value problem for a system of ODEs.
