DDE Function Summary

DDE Initial Value Problem Solver

Solver
Description
dde23
Solve initial value problems for delay differential equations with constant delays.

DDE Helper Functions

Function
Description
deval
Evaluate the numerical solution using the output of dde23.

DDE Solver Properties Handling

An options structure contains named properties whose values are passed to dde23, and which affect problem solution. Use these functions to create, alter, or access an options structure.

Function
Description
ddeset
Create/alter the DDE options structure.
ddeget
Extract properties from options structure created with ddeset.
