Dear R users, an improved version of package deSolve (version 1.3) is now available on CRAN. deSolve, the successor of R package odesolve, is a package to solve initial value problems (IVP) of: - ordinary differential equations (ODE), - differential algebraic equations (DAE) and - partial differential equations (PDE). The implementation includes stiff integration routines based on the ODEPACK Fortran codes (Hindmarsh 1983). It also contains fixed and adaptive time step Runge-Kutta solvers and the Euler method. Main improvements: - new introductory tutorial (vignette) "Solving initial value differential equations in R", - all integrators are now implemented in compiled languages (Fortran resp. C). Now all solvers allow to call compiled models directly (see package vignette "Writing Code in Compiled Language"). - new function ode.3d that supplements the already existing ode.1d and ode.2d, - new function "diagnostics", - many small improvements, especially of the documentation. Have fun!
