Solving an ODE With Different Initial Conditions#

Solving \(\dot{u} = 1.01u\) with \(u(0)=0.5\) and \(t \in [0, 1]\)

Linear ODE which starts at 0.5 and solves from t=0.0 to t=1.0

prob = ODEProblem((u, p, t) -> 1.01u, 0.5, (0.0, 1.0))
ODEProblem with uType Float64 and tType Float64. In-place: false
timespan: (0.0, 1.0)
u0: 0.5

Define a new problem for each trajectory using remake() The initial conditions (u0) are changed in this example

function prob_func(prob, i, repeat)
    remake(prob, u0=rand() * prob.u0)
end
prob_func (generic function with 1 method)

You could also obtain the necessary data from the outside of prob_func()

initial_conditions = range(0, stop=1, length=100)

function prob_func(prob, i, repeat)
  remake(prob, u0=initial_conditions[i])
end

Define an ennsemble problem

ensemble_prob = EnsembleProblem(prob; prob_func=prob_func)
EnsembleProblem with problem ODEProblem

Ensemble simulations use multithreading by default

sim = solve(ensemble_prob, trajectories=100)

Radioactive decay example

using ModelingToolkit
using DifferentialEquations

@variables t c(t) = 1.0
@parameters λ = 1.0
D = Differential(t)
@mtkbuild sys = ODESystem([D(c) ~ -λ * c], t)
prob = ODEProblem(sys, [], (0.0, 2.0), [])
ODEProblem with uType Vector{Float64} and tType Float64. In-place: true
timespan: (0.0, 2.0)
u0: 1-element Vector{Float64}:
 1.0

Use the symboilic interface to change the parameter(s) By prob.ps[symbol] or setp() function factory

function changemtkparam(prob, i, repeat)
    # Make a new copy of the parameter vector
    # Ensure the changed will not affect the original ODE problem
    newprob = remake(prob, p=copy(prob.p))
    newprob.ps[λ] = i * 0.5
    newprob
end

ensemble_prob = EnsembleProblem(prob, prob_func=changemtkparam)
sim = solve(ensemble_prob, trajectories=10)
