#38: Create an entry point in bytecode interpreter for use by k-order DLL --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: sebastien Type: feature | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Preprocessor | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- First, support for k-order derivatives computation needs to be added to the preprocessor. Second, a storage mechanism for these needs to be added in the bytecode generation. Third, the bytecode interpreter should provide two C functions: * one for retrieving the number of non-zero elements (NNZE) in the k-order derivative (accross all equations) * one which would pass on the derivatives to the caller. Its arguments would be: * the order of derivation (k) * a (double*) vector, allocated by the caller, of length the NNZE * a (int*) matrix, of size NNZE times (k+1): the first column is the equation number, the others are the variables indices (ordered in non- decreasing order: the symmetric elements are not duplicated) -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/38> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

We need to check with Ondra how to fix these tests. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/79> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

[Trac] #135: Improve display of decision rules with EXPECTATION operator

#135: Improve display of decision rules with EXPECTATION operator --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: sebastien Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 4.3 Component: Preprocessor | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Currently, if the user inputs EXPECTATION(-1)(some_expr) in her model, then a new aux variable is created, and this var is a state var, which appears in the decision rules as EXPECTATION(-1)(...) (with the dots instead of the expression). This is not very informative. Displaying the full expression would require to add a new writeOutput method in the preprocessor. And for something like EXPECTATION(-2)(some_expr), it is even worse, because there are 2 aux vars: one for the operator, and the second one which appears when removing lags of 2. It is the latter which appears in stoch_simul. Fixing this requires to fix the orig_endo field of M_.aux_vars in that case. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/135> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

[Trac] #83: persistent variables must be cleared at the beginning of a Dynare run

#83: persistent variables must be cleared at the beginning of a Dynare run --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: michel | Owner: michel Type: bug | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Core M-files | Version: 4.1.0 Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- persistent variables in *.m files trigger hard to understand errors if the user run successively two different *.mod files with 'noclearall' option. Whenever a function uses persistent variables, there should be an explicit initialize option and not rely on empty persistent variables as, for example, priordens.m currently does. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/83> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project
