Internal deSolve functions, these are not to be called by the user.
Usage
timestep(prev = TRUE)
Arguments
prev
if TRUE will return the timestep previously used;
when FALSE will return the time step to be currently tried by
the integrator.
Details
Function timestep is intended to return the current or next
timestep of the integration. It works only under specific
circumstances and should not be used by the end user.
Instead of this, please see the example below for a pure
R solution.
See Also
diagnostics for information about the time steps used, lagvalue and lagderiv that can be used for DDEs.
