Dear All,

Can anyone possible send me the interpolatingfunctionanatomy .m file. I 
have Mathematica 5.0 only. I am running a simulation of chemical 
kinetics, and need the volume to be changed at each timestep which then 
scales the concentrations. This means as far as I am aware that I will 
have to use the EventLocator controller.

In my system of dif equations I have


X'[t] = (bla bla ... )
V'[t] = (k X[t] )

At each timestep I need to scale X[t] by the ratio of (V[t]/V[t+1])  
because V is the volume of the cell that the chemical X is in, and X 
increases this volume. Therefore, X[t] has to be reduced by a ratio of 
the previous volume to the current volume. I can only think of doing 
this by having an event detect when the volume increases by a fixed 
amount, and catching that event,. and then rescaling X'[t] and 
restaring NDSolve from there. I think the EventLocator can do this 
automatically. Is there a better way to do this?

Yours ever,
Chrisantha Fernando
