How do I stop ode solver when output is complex number?
Show older comments
I am currently working on a coupled ode problem, and using ode45 solver to solve it.
My code is something like this:
bubble.m
function rdot = f(t, r)
%Some mathematical expressions
....
...
...
rdot(1) = r(2); % first derivative of r1
rdot(2) = (X11 - X21 - (X31*(X41 - X51)))/X81; % second derivative of r1
rdot(3) = r(4); % first derivative of r2
rdot(4) = (X12 - X22 - (X32*(X42 - X52)))/X82; % second derivative of r2
rdot = rdot';
And,
bubble_plotter.m
clc;
clear all;
%close all;
time_range = [0 1d-4];
r1_eq = 10d-6;
r2_eq = 1d-6;
initial_conditions = [r1_eq 0.d0 r2_eq 0.d0];
[t, r] = ode45('bubble', time_range, initial_conditions);
r1_us=1000000*r(:,1);
r1dot=r(:,2);
r2_us=1000000*r(:,3);
r2dot=r(:,4);
%% Recovery of double derivatives
for i=1:numel(t)
t_actual = t(i);
r_actual = r(i,:);
rdot(i,:) = bubble_mettin(t_actual,r_actual);
end
r1ddot = rdot(:,2);
r2ddot = rdot(:,4);
figure(101);
plot(normalized_time, r1_us, 'b-', normalized_time, r2_us, 'k-.');
For certain input parameter values, ode solver successfully runs only for first few t-values and outputs corresponding real positive values for r, which in the code is r(1) and r(3). But after that the solver starts outputing negative or complex values (that is, imaginary numbers) for r(1) and r(3). I wish the program stops right before it starts yielding complex or negative values. Also the so far calculated values of r(1), r(2), r(3), r(4), rdot(2) and rdot(4) must be receoverable.
Another condition to stop the solver could be that r(1) + r(3) should not excced a given value.

Did you find a solution to this?

see
use conditions as
isreal(r(1))==0 | r(1)<0 %an example isreal tells whether the number is real returns 0 if it's not

Vikash it's the only way , otherwise what you can do is compute everything and filter the datas after the calculation?

Opt = odeset('Events', @myEvent); %add this before ode45
[t, r] = ode45('bubble', time_range, initial_conditions);
save the below function separately:
function [value, isterminal, direction] = myEvent(t, r)
value = isreal(r(1))==0 | r(1)<0 | isreal(r(3))==0 | r(3)<0;
isterminal = 1; % Stop the integration
direction = 0;
end
