Hi, all<br>
<br>
For a vector of 1800 variables, I have 1800 equations like y(i)'=y(y1,y2,...,yn,t), but RHSfunction only have 5 y(j), so if I put related y(i) next to each other, the RHSfunction will become more banded, and Jacobian Matrix will be more banded also, the time consumption will go down. Am I right?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br><font color="#888888">
