lowable step size. f0 : ndarray, shape (n,) Initial value of the derivative, i.e., ``fun(t0, y0)``. direction : float Integration direction. order : float Error estimator order. It means that the error controlled by the algorithm is proportional to ``step_size ** (order + 1)`. rtol : float Desired relative tolerance. atol : float Desired absolute tolerance. Returns ------- h_abs : float Absolute value of the suggested initial step. References ---------- .. [1] E. Hairer, S. P. Norsett G.
