They now only return what’s really their output (simulated paths, maximum
residual error…). This is a move towards a more functional programming style.
Use the new time-recursive block decomposition computed by the preprocessor
for:
- the simulation of backward models with “simul_backward”
- the perfect foresight simulation of purely backward/forward/static models
Also note that in this case, the preprocessor now defaults to “mfs=3” (i.e. it
minimizes the set of feedback variables and tries to renormalize equations).
This replaces the previous algorithm based on Dulmage-Mendelsohn (dmperm), plus
an ad hoc identification of some equations that can be evaluated (those with a
LHS equal to a variable, the log of a variable, or the diff-log of a variable).
By the way, the block_trust_region MEX has been modified so that it accepts a
boolean argument to decide whether it performs a Dulmage-Mendelsohn
decomposition (if not, then it performs a simple trust region on the whole
nonlinear system).
This provides a significant performance improvement (of almost an order of
magnitude for solve_algo=14 on a 700 equations model).
