Roots and steady-states

Description

Functions that:

(1) generate gradient and Jacobian matrices (full and banded),

(2) find roots of non-linear equations by the Newton-Raphson method,

(3) estimate steady-state conditions of a system of (differential) equations in full, banded or sparse form, using the Newton-Raphson method or by a dynamic run,

(4) solve the steady-state conditions for uni-and multicomponent 1-D, 2-D and 3-D partial differential equations, that have been converted to ODEs by numerical differencing (using the method-of-lines approach).

Details

rootSolve was created to solve the examples from chapter 7 (stability and steady-state) from the book of Soetaert and Herman, 2009.
