Specify upper bound on ODE solver step size
MaxStep
is a property of the SolverOptions
property,
which is a property of a configset
object. This
property specifies the bounds on the size of the time steps. MaxStep
is
available only for ODE solvers (ode15s
, ode23t
, ode45
,
and sundials
).
If the differential equation has periodic coefficients or solutions, it might be a good idea
to set MaxStep
to some fraction (such as 1/4) of the period. This
guarantees that the solver does not enlarge the time step too much and step over a period of
interest. For more information on MaxStep
, see odeset
.
