Hi Prasanna,

You will find below a slightly modify version of the code you posted, so 
we can track the memory consumption and some possible memory leaks, as 
well as part of the results I got for N0 = 500. (Note that the program 
took about 13 hours of CPU time to complete the hundred iterations. I 
started it on Saturday night -- before leaving for a party -- and it was 
completed when I return to my iMac on Sunday afternoon.)

Glancing at the results, I suspect that the large memory consumption is 
due to the large size of the solution (called "soln" in the code) 
returned by NDSolve. NDSolve returns a solution in the form of an 
InterpolatingFunction object. The size of this object depends on the 
number of sampling points that are required to get a good fit. Roughly 
speaking, the size of the solution returned by NDSolve, an interpolating 
function, is proportional to the complexity of the system to be solved, 
say the number of non-trivial equations in your system.

My understanding -- or, at this stage, I should say, "A wild guess" -- 
is that the sparce matrix you build at each iteration becomes less dense 
(that is, holds more non-zero entries) depending on the original size of 
the problem (N0) and the number of iterations (j). Therefore the system 
to be solved becomes more complex and the solution (soln) becomes 
larger. As one can see below, soln starts at about 600 MB and ends at 
about 2 GB.

Hope this helps,
--
