So, I’m now even more confused.
I’m attempting to solve an equation that looks like this:
u’ = -i(H0 + e(t) D) u
Where H0 is a purely real diagonal matrix, D is an off-diagonal block matrix, and e(t) is a function of time (The schrödinger equation in the energy basis).
I’ve rewritten the e(t) function in my code to just return 0.0. So the new equation is just u’ = -iH0 u. The matrix is time independent and diagonal (I’ve checked this). H0[0] ~= -.5 (with no imaginary component). and u(t=0) = [1,0,0,0,..]
This problem SHOULD be incredibly simple: u’ = i (0.5) u.
However, I’m still getting the same blowup with the TS.:
//with e(t) == 0
//TS
t: 0 step: 0 norm-1: 0
t: 0.01 step: 1 norm-1: 0
t: 0.02 step: 2 norm-1: 0.9999953125635765
t: 0.03 step: 3 norm-1: 2.999981250276277
//Hand rolled
t: 0.01 norm-1: 0 ef 0
t: 0.02 norm-1: 0 ef 0
t: 0.03 norm-1: -1.110223024625157e-16 ef 0
——————————————————————————————
//with e(t) != 0
//TS
t: 0 step: 0 norm-1: 0
t: 0.01 step: 1 norm-1: 0
t: 0.02 step: 2 norm-1: 0.9999953125635765
t: 0.03 step: 3 norm-1: 2.999981250276277
//Hand rolled
t: 0.01 norm-1: 0 ef 9.474814647559372e-11
t: 0.02 norm-1: 0 ef 7.57983838406065e-10
t: 0.03 norm-1: -1.110223024625157e-16 ef 2.558187954267552e-09
I’ve updated the gist.

It turns out that -ts_type cn is equivalent to -ts_type theta -ts_theta_theta .5 -ts_theta_endpoint and somehow this endpoint business (which I don't understand) is causing a problem. Meanwhile if I add -ts_theta_adapt to the endpoint one it becomes stable ? Anyways all cases are displayed below.

The solution vector is given for when you are solving nonlinear problems (A(t) also depends on U(t)). In my case, I don’t even look at the solution vector (because my A(t) doesn’t depend on it).
