Question: Numerical solution of ODE

Hi

Dear friends

I use the command "dsolve(`union`(deq, initial), numeric, method = lsode)" for solving a fourth order ODE.

But for some numerical values of the parameters the bellow error is occurred:

" an excessive amount of work (greater than mxstep) was done ".

I have three questions:

1- how can I increase the mxstep from default amount (i.e. 500) to a greater value?

2- how can I ensure that the absolute error is less than 10E-6?

3- when I use lsode which way of numerical solution is applied (Euler,midpoint, rk3, rk4, rkf, heun, ... )?

 

Thanks a lot for your help
