Bouncing ball

During the past week Jan has been working on an implementation of event handling for the enclosure-based hybrid ODE IVP solver. There is an initial version and a first simulation of the bouncing ball hybrid system was performed. The algorithm was capable of improving the produced enclosures when the step size was reduced as can be seen from the figures below.

Simulation done with step size 0.01.


Simulation done with step size 0.01.


Next, Jan will be testing the implementation looking for bugs that cause the solver to sometimes stall and eventually run out of memory.
