Solve complex matrix differential equation with Odeint

Question

I want to solve a matrix differential equation, like this one :

import numpy as np
from scipy.integrate import odeint


def deriv(A, t, Ab):
    return np.dot(Ab, A)


Ab = np.array([[-0.25,    0,    0],
               [ 0.25, -0.2,    0],
               [    0,  0.2, -0.1]])

time = np.linspace(0, 25, 101)
A0 = np.array([10, 20, 30])

MA = odeint(deriv, A0, time, args=(Ab,))

However, this does not work in the case of having complex matrix elements. I am looking for something similar to scipy.integrate.complex_ode but for odeint . If this is not possible, what other library should I use to perform the integration? I appreciate your help!

Answer 1

odeintw wrapper for odeint must be used in the same fashion as in the question. However, the initial value A0 must be complex-valued vector.
